I'm setting up all clients on Win 7 Pro and then installing the Windows
Virtual PC and Windows XP SP3 in that, with my FoxDos 2.6 running very
happily in the WinXP virtual computer. It even works on multi-core CPUs
(which regular WinXP on a multi-core CPU would not without some tweaking.)

Subject: End of XP support: what impact on FoxPro/VFP

Microsoft is ending all support for XP on April 14, 2014. There will be no
more security updates which is the biggest single immediate issue for current
users. There are some experts who believe that it will not be more than a few
days before all XP systems are seriously exposed.
I would like to know how this will affect current users of the various versions
on FoxPro/Visual FoxPro.
1. I know that Fox 2.6 and earlier will not run on Windows 7 and 8.
2. Are there any version of VFP that will not run?
Are any of you planning on advising your current customers of this development?
If so, what will you be recommending?
Thanks
Wes
