From: Geoff Schaller on 26 May 2010 19:14 <g> What you are saying is that three important events/people delayed your inevitable departure from VO. Except 'departure' still happened. My take is simple. I have VO apps that will stay VO and die with me and their clients but all our new development is taking place in C#. Had there been some practical way to continue supporting VO I would have been there with bells and whistles and money. I think Brian has blown this opportunity. It could have been but now never will.

From: Geoff Schaller on 26 May 2010 19:15 You are absolutely 100% correct. ....and this is what we warned Brian about years ago.

From: Apolonio Luis M. on 26 May 2010 21:33 I think it's time to migrate. I believe that you should do what I did with clipper at the time. I completely erased "clipper" of my hard drive on all my computers. And of course I very quickly started using VO. As my clients are asking that their projects work in a fast and economical web platform today I'm choosing to migrate my new projects to the linux web platform with PHP + JS + MYSQL + CMS (eg Joomla). Projects for the Windows platform will continue to do with CAVO, since at the date meet and exceed the requirements of my clients (quick, economical, mass (1 million records per month), Internet, remote support, etc)

The problem IMO is not that VO is not supported, but that Grafx says it is. You are still able to join a support programm for VO that will cost a lot of money but does not give a lot in return.
