No more Visual Foxpro after 9!

I had to report on this because I’ve been using Foxpro for the last 3 years and find it to be a great product for a small IT shop. I love the fact that you can develop an application quickly, connect to the database with ease, deploy the application within a few minutes, and have many users connect at the same time without any issues. The learning curve was very small and the program had become very robust with transaction handling, custom report generation, and a host of other features.

According to a good number of recent posts, people are starting to get really mad because all of their email is being deleted by the OneCare product! According to reports, if OneCare detects an email with malware in the attachment, it quarantines the entire Outlook PST file! And on top of that, for a lot of people it has deleted their the file from quarantine also! So if you’re using Windows Live OneCare and this has not happened to you yet, TURN IT OFF and wait for the patch!!

If you hadn’t heard yet, there might be a new format for photos that’s supposed to end the reign of JPEG! Apparently the new format that is being created by Microsoft will offer higher quality pictures with better compression. According the Microsoft, a high quality image will be half the size of a JPEG format picture and have better color and less distortion. As of right now the format is only supported by Windows Vista, but Microsoft is pushing hard to make this the next standard! However, it’s not certain whether this will be an open standard or a propertiary format yet.
