The next major upgrade release will have a minimum requirement of Windows 8.1 and will be available first in 64-bit format. Support for Windows XP/2003 will be officially dropped. Windows 10 64-bit remains the recommended platform. This major upgrade will be built with the latest toolset available for Windows.

Heya don't cry. I just picked up a Dell Optiplex 9020 Mini Tower i7-4790 3.6Ghz with 8GB ram and no hard drive for $212.40. Add a $60.00 250GB SSD and you've got a plenty powerful Blue Iris box with a lot of expansion space inside the case.

I just plain old HATE Windooohs10. It's a "service" now and I hate being "serviced". Windows has gone from an operating system to a tablet wannabee.

Incidentally, just upgraded the 9020’s v12 bios to the latest version (v24), threw in a spare SSD I had laying around, installed Won10 Pro with the MS Media Creation Tool and — *voila* — Windows is activated automatically courtesy of System Locked Pre-Installation (SLP).

Aw any possibility of porting a future release to Linux/Unix?

no one here would know, but its very unlikely. Windows runs great despite the misinformation out there.

You could try reactos... Front Page | ReactOS Project
I had the thought a while ago. I just don't have the time to mess with doing so.

Horrible idea.

That is interesting! Thank you for sharing that.

Blue iris will not run well or reliably. BI should be installed on bare metal windows. It runs great. I have over 20 installations with zero issues. You will have problems. Though sometimes you have to learn the hard way.

I'll date myself and call it the "RCA method", learn by doing (it wrong).

I didn't say it would work well or even work at all. You are right if you look at it from the standpoint of a production system. This would be nothing more than an experiment.
