Over the last couple of weeks I have been in conversation with a support company who have been approaching a number small to medium companies and trying to get them to migrate up from their XP boxes Yes, you would not believe how many businesses are sitting still and trying to figure out which way to go next. I have been brought in to do some consulting on how easy it is to move a company called LondonDrugs from XP to Linux. They are not a large company but they will have to move their 78 store with around a thousand Desktops and Servers sooner than later. Microsoft, has approach them, offering deals, assistance and even terms but the management does not want to end up in a similar set of circumstances, in another five years. No matter what the results are it is going to cost the company millions. I of course am hoping they will choose Linux for a majority of their computers but have no say in the outcome. I know I said I would not get pulled back into systems work but my Volvo has broken, probably the most expensive part in the car; the control mechanism between the front and rear AWD and it will cost about 4K when the taxes are paid. Hopefully a weeks work will cover it. The final ending of Windows7 may not be so...has not Microsoft condemned Window 7 to the dust-bin a couple of times before?

I have done some experiments at home with Win-8. So far, things work nicely. We have had a few discussions about Win-8 at work, but there is some concern that the users will not like the new user interface. > > Brad > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock > Sent: Friday, January 09, 2015 4:45 PM > To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving > Subject: Re: [AccessD] Access 2007 Applications Running Under Access 2013 Runtime > > Hi Brad > > It should work with little or no changes, but why mocking around with Windows 7?
