That also came through last year during Infor's partner summit when the discussion turned to the fact Infor still had green-screen products. It also tags onto a recent talk with an industry veteran about the lifespan for legacy applications. I discussed with him the success Passport Software has had marketing a product based on RealWorld code and opined that as long as the code was available the product could live. Perhaps I should add as long as they work and there is someone able to fix them, products can live and live. And if anyone remembers, the computer world didn't end on Jan. 1, 2000.

EXACT DROPS DOS VERSIONS Featured
The statement that Exact has killed the DOS versions of its software is not new that will set the world trembling. The mention was one of the facts dropped by CEO Erik Van der Meijden during a recent earnings webcast. He described that as "a painful step" and said it was taken because of the latest version of SQL Server.
