In past years I always heard it's best to have Intel processors on workstations when using VFP apps.
It's irrelevant who the CPU vendor is.
Have any of you had any problems using AMD processors and Windows 10 with VFP apps? Any version of AMD processor a better choice?
As with any CPU faster is always better. That's about it.
What's important is whether VFP runs on a given version of Windows. This is a single-threaded, 32-bit Windows executable and associated DLLs.

I just love this. Our "old" tool will work for the unforeseeable future, much to the chagrin of many nay-sayers.

Well, Foxpro 2.6 runs fine on 32-bit Windows 10 so ... ;)

I've been developing in VFP since version 3
And what a joy that was Allen. ;)

VFP 3.0?
The hardest part for me as I remember it was getting my head around how to bind UI controls, handle buffering and transactions, and that whole paradigm. I had never been a VB programmer or anything - I was a C guy back then with some FoxPro for DOS experience. So Windows UI was new to me.
You must be pleased with VFP 5 making that all much more easy

I think we all had a bit of a transition to the Windows UI. I didn't succeed at it until VFP 6.0. I started with FoxBase, then moved to FoxproLan then for several years, I used a DOS language called MagicPC (btrieve based) before switching back to VFP 6.0. it was a challenge, but one well worth the effort. Today, I'm still trying to wring the most out of VFP9 and I often feel like I'm still only scratching the surface.

I still notice commands in the help file I've never seen before :)
It couldn't harm to finally READ the revised helpfile from VFPX.org. After 15 years of stable existence, it shouldn't change anymore. Maybe it would be a good time to start discovering shocking new details of VFP9? :)

Reading and then retaining all that knowledge until you need said information is as big a challenge sometimes. :)
