Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Control of OS by User. Control of OS by Administrators. No cellphone format. No built-in SpyWare. Completely Customizable. Small Hardware Footprint. Compatibility with hardware. Cons Developers and paid engineers not supporting this OS in software anymore. Corrupt Corporate System. (Microsoft) Too much overhead and lenience to developers. Bloated & unnecessary registry (not improved in successor OS's). Saving software in too many directories vs previous versions. (Program Files, Program Files (x86), Users/Appdata, ProgramData).	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros ZOC Terminal proved to be a flexible and configurable replacement for PowerTerm, especially for environments requiring legacy 7-bit Hebrew support. The cooperation with Markus Schmidt, Founder and CEO of EmTec, was truly remarkable. He worked closely with us to enhance ZOC with built-in VT420 Hebrew support and features tailored specifically to our needs, including perfect Hebrew/English language-switch synchronization with Windows. Flexible software, excellent price point, developer is excellent and responsive. We were currently running Attachmate which we've been unable to install on the most recent version of Windows 11 and therefore we were scrambling for some type of alternative. ZOC was the perfect fit. It did what we wanted and more. For users who are connected to many different machines per day, ZOC gets you online FAST with its Host Directory where usernames, passwords, SSH keys, and logging to disk will save you incredible amounts of time. ZOC can record keystrokes and commands and record a script a script on-the-fly, without having to log out and log back in again to run it. The recorded script can immediately be played back for repetitive actions on servers, routers, etc. or can be edited and enhanced later as needed. Multi function F1 - F12 hotkeys can be mapped to a simple command or can launch your own sophisticated ZOC scripts on one Tab, or multiple Tabs if multiple machines simultaneously need the same task performed. ZOC's scripting language is POWERFUL yet easy to learn. The more you use a terminal program, the more you need ZOC! Being able to run the same TN3270 emulator on MacOS and Windows is a huge plus! If you have used other emulators in the past, conversion to ZOC is quite simple. ZOC offers a large number of options that allow you to configure and customize the software to meet your needs. EmTec provides incredible and responsive software support. Being a new user of ZOC, I had questions, feedback and a few enhancement requests. The support team has been very easy to work with. Layout. Range of connectivity options. Customisation options. One time perpetual licence model. Support included. Cons Adapting ZOC Terminal to fully match our long-standing PowerTerm behavior required some configuration effort. While this took time, the support provided by EmTec helped us resolve the issues gradually and effectively. We have none at this point, but if that might change as we've only been using it for approx 3-6 months. ZOC is so good I can not think of any negative aspects. it's GREAT. My con for this product is simply that I did not know that it existed. Since I work on MacOs and Windows environments, using the same TN3270 emulator would have been great! None found yet, and I have used it for a while now.
