What happened to 'the customer is always right?' <g>

Seriously, while I can relate to this policy to some degree it's silly to have such an attititude at least if you have more than a few customers who are using your product under Vista now.

While you can say that you don't officially support it, I would still try to at least be aware of what the issues are if any (and chances are there won't be) and see if you can work around them. Sooner or later you'll have to do this anyway.

The good news is that I haven't run into any compatibilities in any of my apps that are running under vista. The biggest problem is the VFP IDE itself which is very jumpy and non-smooth under Vista. However, applications run just fine in all aspects.

>Then again, we're still trying to get some of our older clients to upgrade from the DOS product to the Windows version. ;-)

See you're playing your customers in the exact opposite way now <g>...
