We used to be able to download a software utility that would convert the Windows XP environment into a POSIX system, but we eventually found that most of the free program we downloaded did not have an option for us to run it as a service on our personal computers. This is very frustrating because the older computer version we wanted to download was based on the Linux environment, which was not a problem for us because we had that type of computer with a DEC compatible CPU. But when we tried to download the SG TCP Optimizer, we found that there was no choice for us at all, as it had been developed as a free Windows utility. It did not matter what the system or operating system was either, because it was all the same thing.
The free program itself had a powerful compatibility mode that could only be accessed by using the command line interface. It would do nothing else to create a stand-alone executable and then transfer all the files that were being uploaded to it to your personal computer. We tried this out and found that the program would work flawlessly as long as you have a valid access to the command line interface.
When we downloaded the software and installed it, the first thing that we did was to activate it to run as a service on our PC. We rebooted our PC and this seemed to do the trick. We then ran the application by pressing a key combination on the keyboard, which was the DEL command and the program displayed a list of available actions that the user could perform with the SG TCP Optimizer. We then selected one of the available actions, which was to begin to operate in the Windows environment. And this is how we found that it was really necessary to obtain a utility that allowed us to operate our PC's in a completely different manner from that of the regular Windows system.
