The best thing about Win 7 is I can't run my old VFP

(and I don't want to purchase new VFP anymore

)
This has some very good effects:
1. I can distribute my VFP source code to my clients, if they can get service from a VFP programmer (in that case M$ will make money).
2. Some of my clients want my backu up, and I already proposed them to develop the same projects with HMG with more facilities.
3. Now, I am getting more time to work with HMG.
...
...
With best regards.

Yes, of course it's a very good news
And, the best part of it - HMG runs fine with Win 7

I'm running win'7 home premium 64 on one of my notebooks.
It works fine.
But, sometimes I need to use my old clipper 5.2 application. Then I'm running dosbox.
It works slowly, but works!
(I've didn't try to print yet)

Yes, Marek. Home Premium version has that facility for compatiblity. I am running Home Basic
I recompiled most of my old Clipper apps with Harbour (or xHarbour in some cases) so they are running fine and print's well with win_prn class
Microsoft did many good things (eg., the O/s with which I am working now), but it also created many things and decissons, which cannot be called "Good" at all

Eg., it destroyed a very good product, Foxpro.
