FoxPro One of Three Development Languages Supported on Vista
According to this article, “Microsoft Releases Virtual Vista Versions” by Keith Ward, Visual FoxPro 9.0 is one of only 3 development languages supported on Window’s Vista. Is this true? Where’s the fine print?”
Developers may be excited by the Vista with VS 2005 option. Currently, Microsoft supports Vista for three Microsoft development products: Visual Basic 6.0, Visual FoxPro 9.0 and VS 2005, but only with the Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista. Versions of VS 2003 and earlier aren’t supported by Microsoft. Earlier development products may work with Vista, Microsoft said, but it won’t support them.
I just thought I’d pass this along!
What I find interesting (and maybe I’m wrong?) but VB6 is no longer supported by MS. That leaves Visual FoxPro and VS 2005 as the only two development platforms available and supported on Vista.
