Topband: Windows 10 Update heads up

[Anthony Scandurra]

Flex recently released a bug fix related to sound cards for their 1.x users even though 1.x is no longer actively getting new updates.  This is above and beyond what software companies normally do.  It is akin to Microsoft issuing a bug fix for Windows 95.

It should also be noted that Flex provides updates to their software free of charge within the boundaries of each major revision.  Thus, version 1.x users received the bug fix for free.  So did users of versions 2.x and 3.x.
