has anyone run tunerstudio with linux and usb cable?

Your computer is probably old, slow, or clogged up with crap running in the background slowing it down.
In most cases people don't know how to maintain windows and it's a high maintenance OS. Also if you want privacy from the microsoft servers use windows 95, 98, or 98se but that's another subject. There is no such thing as privacy with winXP through win10 if you're online.

I'm running windows 7 ultimate or windows 10 pro with the fastest intel i7 CPU made for my motherboard with 32GB of RAM on mine. pagefile.sys and hiberfile .sys is disabled and turned OFF.
It's over clocked at 4.7GHZ and it flies with virtual box or anything else. I'm not using bitlocker.
It boots up from cold to all programs loaded and stable in about 10 seconds so the speed of virtual box running XP on a newer OS or a MAC is all relative.

Off-topic, but.....

Why I despise Windows and love OSX, but many software providers don't work with OSX.

Lose-lose in my eyes.

Forgot to mention and yes it's off topic but for fast computer speeds you have to use a good 2.5" solid state hard drive for the OS. Samsung is the best.

Mechanical hard drives have moving parts so they're slow and the faster 3.5" desktop and server ones get hot without good air flow but they're still good for high capacity data storage and backups if throughput speed is tolerable.

I run linux mint and virtual box with win7 on it just for test, clean install. ssd, icore 5 but only 4mb memory.
I use linux when ever I can on this laptop and its fast enough for anything I need. Hopefully with the rs232 card I dont need win for anything.

JF, I was saying I'm going off-topic, not you, if you took it that way.

Great input like usual!
