>>You know Microsoft Dynamics AX? It's one of ERP's of Microsoft. It has own internal language named X++. It's dialects like C# but just like. It's so so easy than C#. It has own IDE but in next version it'll use VS IDE.

>Aren't you concerned that MS will drop Dynamics (or Navision) in the future? MS is moving away from desktops and looking to the future with Azure. I believe Dynamics was purchased because of a personal relationship between the Great Plains CEO and MS and a means to combat Oracle financials. Not sure why they purchased Navision? But with the new MS CEO I wonder how long Dynamics and Navision will be on the MS software list. Yes I know that 15 years after the death of VP we still get jobs - but that will soon end.

Navision is very popular at Europe. I'm an AX developer and MS moved AX new version to Azure already... :)
New AX version supports Azure and AX client supports HTML5, Appstore and Playstore. I think AX one of the best has cloud-ready version products of MS.
I think in the future MS will drop the GP and continue with NAV and AX. NAV and AX are far better products than GP and unlike GP they have customers all over from the world.
