Looks similar to things like GraphOn Go-Global. Lower-cost alternative
to TS/Citrix. As far as I can see it's all still multiple VFP instances
running on a Windows server somewhere with the display presented in a
browser.
I laugh about these kinds of things because the capability been around
for a long time and hence no need to rewrite in the latest language du
jour. You know what I mean...for years everything was "you need to
rewrite that in DotNet" or in Steve's case "write it for the browser
instead."
I just laugh when I see that it's still very possible to preserve the
initial VFP investment rather than recreate for the sake of recreating.
And now, with the ever increasing bandwidth available, these kinds of
"old tech" options are now very viable.
Given that, I wonder which way would be best for end-user performance
and ongoing maintenance (realizing that they're mutually exclusive):
RDP into a Windows Server running these VFP apps or having something
like Thierry Nivelet's FoxInCloud running your app in a browser via
interpreter?
