I already made the jump and love it! It would be nicer if I had a touch screen but still is very functional without.

I followed this line with a great deal of interest but I'm not sure I'm ready to jump on Windows 8 yet.

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.
