That's a nice standard to have and that was actually the standard at my previous employment - nothing less than Windows 98 at a minimum and this year it became W2k. However, in my current employment, our customers are small businesses with anywhere from 1 single pc to 10 in 3 separate offices, etc. Some of the really small businesses cannot afford an OS upgrade even though it should be a requirement. All servers in a peer-to-peer environment are at least Windows 98, but some of the workstations maybe Win95B still. C/S servers are Windows 2000 of course. Our software is distributed as a part of a 'package' for using our premium financing and hence, not an income producer. Regardless, there are probably >1200 clients and probably 2/3rds have Windows 98 or better, but there is still that 1/3 left over...

>>I apologize if this has already been verified, but I did a search and came up blank. Is it true that distributed apps developed with VFP8 (when the final version is released) will NOT run on NT4.0 SP6 or Windows 95 machines?
