Mike, If you believe that load of BS. I have this bridge between Manhattan and Brooklyn you can buy for a very low price.
I came to the PC world via many years installing, programming, and managing software packages in the IBM main frame world. IBM upgrades to its operating systems(mainframe and mini) are evolutionary they didn't go out an break a significant part of existing software. Yes there were changes that affected backward compatibility. There always is as that is the only way to grow/enhance the operating system. The opbect of the game is to cause minimal disruption of you customers operation. Microsoft never learned that lesson. Each major release involve massive changes to the underling architecture rendering hardware and software obsolete. This revolution instead of evolution allows them to ingnore all of the past unfixed problems. Thank God RBTI does not operate under that philosophy. One, it actively fixes problems. Second, you can go from past versions within an operating system family with minimal disruption. For example if you didn't us "variable forms" you can go from v4.5++ for DOS to v7.6 with virtually no change in you code/forms/reports/labels. --- MikeB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Javier Valencia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 2:28 PM > Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: None RBase Question! > > > > Oma: > > > > FWIW; I just got a new laptop (6 weeks ago) to replace my XP > that died; it > > has Vista installed and I have not had a single problem.
