Good to know, although I hate digging around to find registration #'s.
It was endless frustration with that sort of thing when I replaced my
motherboard. I still think I might wait a bit. It seems my photo/music
PC is the only one ready for the update right now. I'd rather do the
first one on one of the other PC's.

Yes, I felt the same way, and upgraded a non-critical Win-8.1 PC first,
having taken a full backup. It worked well, and was up and running
about 90 minutes later. As my wife's Win-7 PC had a couple of issues I
next took the plunge with a full backup before the Win-10 upgrade. It
was there we discovered the need to re-register Autopano Pro but as I
keep a text file with all the licences for each PC (in multiple places)
it was just a matter of copying and pasting a key. Unusual, as all
other software kept their licence keys after the upgrade.

Then I did the rest of the PCs, which have some rather specialised
temperature sensing and weather satellite data reception software (not
available for Macs, Duck!)

Ummm....
http://www.wxtoimg.com
http://trixology.com/weathercat/
....for starters.

and various off-air ship data and aircraft data software and hardware.
I was expecting driver issues, but in the two cases where they arose I
could use the drivers from the Windows.Old directory left by the
upgrade.

Perhaps I have been lucky, but all went smoothly and easily. A number
of minor issues seen on the PCs before the upgrades have been resolved
too.

Whilst that software works for low-bandwidth data, the data I get is
some 56 GB per day over a system called TelliCast, which is supported
only on Windows and Linux. This is direct from the satellites both
polar orbiting and geostationary from around the globe, hence the large
data volume. I have written my own processing software, sales of which
have kept bread on my table for the last 15 years or so, and the vast
majority of my customers run Windows.

Doubtless if the programs I wanted to run worked on the Mac that would
have been the OS I selected, but I choose the tools I need first, and
then the appropriate OS to support them. So I run Windows, Linux and
iOS here, but not OS X.

Have you tried to run the software that you produce in a "winebottle"?
You could tryout the concept on your Linux system. That's how Picasa was
served to the Mac...

BTW; just to see what Tellicast was all about I did some snooping.
(...and I believe I saw your site, nice and comprehensive). However,
the information provided in the Newtec information for Tellicast seems
to indicate support for OSX. I don't know enough about this stuff to
know the depth of support for OSX, but it seems that Newtec has not
left Intel Macs totally out in the cold.
I also concede that this is just the tip of the ice berg regarding the
products and services they provide.

I just found your site, (thanks Duck) and since you use Delphi...
Nevermind...

Thanks! Interesting - to my knowledge there are no OS X users of the
TelliCast service from EUMETSAT. But good to know that it's possible.

Oh, yes, some of the users use my software under Wine and other systems,
but I can't support them. There are some Mac screenshots he

But Delphi is available in a free cross-platform version called
FreePascal using the Lazarus IDE. I did make a couple of programs for
Linux (Raspberry Pi) that way. Again, it's the time taken to support
which possibly matters most to me as I am semi-retired!

You ever hear of VMware? You can emulate a PC on OSX without the headaches
of WinDoze as your operating system for about fifty bucks. Jus' sayin'...
