>I've noticed that most distrubitors list Windows XP Professional edition as the required operating system for running VFP 8.0. I'm planning on buying a new computer and VFP 8.0. However, most systems come with Windows XP Home edition, especially the systems with the best price deals.
>
>My question is this: Will I be able to use VFP 8.0 on the home edition of XP, or is it necessary that I have the professional edition of XP to run it properly? I'm not sure what difference it would make. Are there certain features of VFP 8.0 which require the professional edition of XP?
>
>One other question: Does VFP 8.0 have an upgrade path from VFP 6.0 or only from 7.0?

>Thanks for any advice.
