Default Re: Acer C7 Chromebook

I read that on Chromebook you can install Wine on developer mode or something similar. Not an easy task for a novice.

Edit: to play WinSPMBT on a Chromebook you must install a normal Linux distro in developer mode ( format Chrome OS or create a partition, i don't know exactly) and then install Wine.

After, you must run WinSPMBT installer like a normal Windows game.

Whew! I read all of this and only heard clicks and whistles. Now I know how my grandfather felt when I tried to tell him how to set the time on his VCR. This is what I think you said...Its easy! You just need to do the flim flaggle with the ring ring tom tom and then jizzlebit the hokey pokey in the flim flam. I honestly am thankful for the replies. I found a nice laptop on Amazon that has Windows 7 on it. I think I'll get the Chromebook for my son. He's 12 and a lot smarter than me.

If your used to windows in all its varients then I would stick to something that uses them as there is not a lot of diffrence. Linux is quite diffrent so unless you are prepared to learn how it works in your case it might be best to stick to what you know,
Suppose its a case of price vs sitting down for a while to learn it.
