[FP5] FP 7 and Windows NT 4

[Chris Wood]

Am I to understand that FP 7 will not install on my computers running NT 4?

If so it must leave many thousands as irate as will be if I have to add costs to upgrading my small 10 man business.

FileMaker Version: 5

that's what the requirements say.... which is too bad since I have instruments which are controlled by software that runs on NT4 only, and the upgrade to that software is $3,000 per seat. That makes upgrading to 7 quite expensive.

[Wim Decorte]

Yes, well... what one say? It's bound to happen sooner or later. There is a lot of software that is not supported on NT4 anymore. From a security standpoint alone it pays to stay current with the software.

One solution might be running NT4 in a virtual PC environment. Or running FileMaker 7 from a Terminal Server and connecting from the NT 4 clients.

Thanks for confirming my concern. I will just go to town and rob a bank.
