PS MS Office works just fine on Linux (MS Access as well)...just a little faster but that's all. How do you do this? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Marks" < <mailto:BradM at blackforestltd.com> BradM at blackforestltd.com> To: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" < <mailto:accessd at databaseadvisors.com> accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Monday, August 19, 2013 12:07:58 PM Subject: [AccessD] Future of Windows XP All, I work part time for a small manufacturing firm (about 50 employees) with a very limited IT budget. Currently there are about 20 older PCs running Windows XP (SP3). There are two purchased application systems and a number of Access 2007 applications. It is my understanding that Microsoft is dropping all support (including security updates) for XP in April of 2014. My background is primarily in application development and database administration. In the past, I have relied on fellow employees for "Operating System issues". I have some dumb questions. How serious is the issue of Microsoft dropping all support for XP next April? What are most firms migrating to? Win-7? Win-8? I would guess that either Win-7 or Win-8 will need more horsepower than XP and neither will run very well on older PCs. True? Will Access 2007 applications run Okay with either Win-7 or Win-8?
