Hi Daniel,

What this means practically speaking is less clear (than the article's information points). The movement in software deployment is toward small functional apps and microservices, not large monolithic apps. I've been converting high-level data access routines to Lianja from VFP, so we can run reports, etc. where intermediate cursors are > 2GB. This stuff will all run on the server, not the client, so this announcement means nothing. Lianja will already run on Linux, and Linux can already run on ARM architecture, so again, no big deal.

Still, it's nice to know that if notebooks come out with ARM architecture running Win10, VFP will run on it.
