Re: [MiKTeX] Compatibility

[Vladimir Y. <yum...@ma...>]

Neither am I inclined to upgrade to new "supported"  Windows,
unless they explain clearly what they are spending huge computer resources for.
I understand well what I spend gigabytes of core and disk memory for,
so I expect the developers to explain their reasons for doing that
(except the desire to make me visit a computer shop again and again).

Kind regards
