>>>Victor,

>>>Does Windows 8 seem very different from the user interface stand-point? I have not even known that this version is in the works (busy coding :)).

>>Wellll.....if you leave it setup the way it ships then oooh yes. Here are some screenshots:

>>Based on what I've seen this is really geared toward touch screens. Now there *is* a registry hack I discovered that puts it all back to the standard windows interface - which I would assume will be a feature at some point.
>>
>>Anyway taking the plunge now - going to try to install VFP on it.

>>FYI - the machine I'm using to do all this is a reaaaly old HP TC1100 - hahaha - which does have touch screen but it requires the use of a stylus not finger - which kinda sucks - that & I haven't got the driver for it working yet...

>Re the registry hack, doesn't that beg the question of why install this version in the first place? I feel zero sense of urgency to install it.

Yeah it kinda does - I just wanted to play with it, see if VFP worked on it, and see the new 'metro' layout tiles and such...
