Hello,
Windows 8 may have gone live last week, but I don't think that - at
least for the time being - that is of any importance. However, it does
raise an interesting question.
I feel that W8 with its increasing number of gadgets is a consumer
product, and not at all a product aimed at the business end of the
market. Just have a look at W8 and you will agree. In my opinion, W8 is
still an unfinished product, only put on the market in response to
Apple's success with its Ipod, Ipad etcetera. As far as I can see there
is very little in W8 what would really benefit RBase. Forget about the
gadgets.Does RBase need them? Nice once, perhaps twice or even three
times, but once we've seen them all ? Base is a 'business product' and
hopefully will remain a 'business' product, aimed at the professional
end of the market.
If it were to develop into a 'consumer' product like W8/ W8 Pro then it
looses its raison d'etre and we might just as well forget about the fact
once upon a time RBase used to be a genuine, and very good relational
database programme.
I may be wrong so please feel free tot disagree with me.
Best regards,
Enno Bolhuis
