Why do you ask? I was looking at installing the delphi ds150 on my laptop, but xentry works very good with my cheap J2534 cable. IMO xentry for mercs is better. Obviously the delphi would be good as you can cover many more brands.

FYI my cable is only £15 and it works with xentry

Stick with Win7.
I keep a laptop just for this so doesn't need to be connected to the internet or updated etc.

Surey xentry is better? Given it's official merc?

I dont know the product but im sure it is better than Delphi if mercedes backs it. Im just saying Delphi is good for my application and it supposed to cover a wide range of cars and lorries

Xentry/Star are the same thing to all intents and are the gold standard for Mercedes.
