Hello!

Hi Rob,

You didn't say which Windows.?
I thought with 8.0, Bluetooth just worked OOB.?
Maybe you have 7.?

Actually, depending on the machine, I have both 7 and 8.1.

Full Bluetooth support OOB is a hit-or-miss proposition in Windows 8/8.1, and generic adapters seem to be a miss. The only way they seem to work is with Blue Soleil - which, at $21, cost me 11 times what the adapter did, but I need to use one adapter in both OSes.

I got my Bluetooth to work... with your help

Hello!

What amazes me is that the super-cheap generic USB Bluetooth adapters install natively in Linux - once the fixes in the tutorial here on the forum are applied. However, for Windows, I need Blue Soleil - which, after much grief, I just caved in and spent $21 to get version 9.2.483.0, so I can use the dongles in both Linux and Windows...

It's very difficult to be accurate. The only stats we have are off Sourceforge, which around 33,000 to date. But then you need to add to that torrent downloads, 3rd party sites like Softpedia & Cnet, our LL Mirrors around the world etc. I'd guess around 100k ?

Oh I see. 100k a big numbert. It's becoming more anad more popular.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter how many downloads was there as long as the people that downloaded are happy with LL.

Jerry, how many people downloaded LL 2.2 so far? What does the statistics say?

There is nothing better than that.   When it just works. No drivers, no configurations and time spent to figure out how to get it to work.

It has a screenshot of the desktop, complete with Logo, and the employee has added a bold URL link to the main website in his reply to the letter also.

Ah, thank you bitsnpcs
