Rob I’m sorry. I did not mean my words as an attack on you, the team, or Lone Wolf. My issue is with the tools we all are given, not with your choices. The fact that the two biggest OS authors both ignore open standards whenever they please makes all our lives harder. I do want to a native Mac interface near the top of the punch list but I will watch my tone. Agin I am sorry if my words were misunderstood.
timjthomas if it is a work system and they are using network user accounts ask if you can be given ‘local’ admin rights to a single machine. This would allow the sys admins to maintain superuser control but allow you a small amount of access in one location. That said virtualization on network accounts can lead to strains on system resources beyond normal limits. If a virtual machine doesn’t have legitimate business needs then I would not approve it on a network I was managing. |

I tried copying the RW "Program Files" directory over, but it requires a version of .Net we don't have installed here at work. Thus I'd need some kind of a portable installation where everything is self contained (e.g., www.portableapps.com). I completely understand if it is too much to ask. No worries. I use Word / Text files at work and then simply copy/paste them into EverNote now. Any "database" type access I need or linking I simply do in Excel. Not efficient, but it is all I have to work with. |

My company's stuck on .NET 4 because we still have a few legacy XP machines we haven't upgraded yet. Rather frustrating. That may or may not be the problem here, though. |

Yep, same reason for our shop, still have some test environments and clients running XP (and earlier) machines. We want to move on to 4.5, but our client's refuse to upgrade their systems, so we are also stuck with it for the time being. Hell, we still support a version of our software in legacy DOS because we still have 3 clients using it.
