VFP9 in Windows 8

[Windows 8 runs VisualFoxPro] It's still early days but I'm looking at Windows 8 and I was pleased to discover that visual FoxPro still runs. Windows' Metro front end looked very unfamiliar at first but it's a little more friendly now that the fox is in residence.

I've no idea whether we'll be able to write Metro-style touch systems in VFP but at least the software runs and our existing fox systems will run for a few more years.

We've been in business since 1993 but I'm heading for retirement so the plan is to concentrate on short-term, local projects for the next year so that we can arrange an orderly handover.
