Hyper-V has one big flaw: DOS is not supported, and there are no plans
to ever support DOS!
I'm not really worried about XyWrite over the next ten years, but after
that? Will VMs still be supporting W2K twenty and thirty years from now?
Maybe I shouldn't worry. Who knows? Maybe 20 years from now Nota Bene
will finally work to XyWriters' universal satisfaction?
Nor should you worry, W2K support will be available for a very long
time. As far as NB Win is conserned, it is just a pipe dream. The best
XyWrite version will always be a DOS program. Most of us could use some
modern programmer's editor, but somehow we are stuck with an old DOS
program, mostly out of habit. Luckily there are still a few options to
run DOS programs.
