Why bother? All indications are that Vista does not offer anything significant advantages over W2K or XP in terms of getting the job done. It is going to be an eyewash upgrade so people can show off. Would anyone here actually advise a client to spend upwards of $1000 per station to migrate his Wintel OS?
Perhaps that's how it works on your planet., but my clients are constantly buying new machines. In the near future, some will have no choice (or not know any better) than to get a Vista machines. (I pushed one client recently to upgrade so we could lock down on XPPro for a while and wait for SP2 or SP3.) Will VFP run on it? ODBC? ADO? VFP ISAPI? Web Services? Office Automation? Themes? Color sets? OLE drag and drop? Somebody's apps going to break. Just wondering what folks have found. My concern was how are you going to support it, not whether you recommend it. And if anyone had found significant roadblocks yet. I know Web Connect was a bear to get running on W2K3 initially. New security models may mean new locked down directories, and a need to change from sticking your app and data in C:\MyAppAndData. So I was wondering who had eXPerinced what, so far. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
