Got a request from a client asking if their field application would work on Asus T100 tablet/convertible/laptop thingamabobs.
I dug around Internet searches to find the machine is a quad-core Intel Atom CPU, 10.1" touchscreen, 2 Gb RAM and 32 Gb SSD. Sounds sweet, but I'm pretty sure the Atom is NOT x86 compatible and not suitable for running VFP. I had been telling clients to avoid "RT" as that was non-x86, and probably sometimes told them they want an Intel-compatible CPU, which was bad shorthand, since the Atom is Intel, too. Microsoft is doing a fine job of confusing users on which machines are which. Of course, they want to get rid of the Win32-compatible languages they're no longer supporting (i.e. making money on). Has anyone come up with a good way of explaining this to a client, particularly those less computer-savvy? Can folks confirm I'm right in thinking Atom CPUs are not suitable for Fox apps? -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4uu_lslyrtyetfc3zcn6v2r_tehcu4n1feom5jnah+...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
