If you're still using Paradox for any of your business database applications, you need to put a plan together now for converting to another development tool or at least understand what the future is likely to hold. If you're a power-user or researcher working with data, stick with Paradox at least for now.

Microsoft plans to discontinue sales of Windows XP on June 30, 2008. Because XP is a tried and true OS, and because of numerous problems with Vista, many users and IT departments would prefer to stick with XP.
InfoWorld has an initiative to keep XP alive indefinitely.
You can help.

If you've used computers for more than a few years, you know that you don't wonder IF a hard drive will fail - you wonder WHEN.
It just happened to me - again. But this time it looks like the results will be pretty painless. The reasons?

Here's a great marketing idea, cooked up, no doubt, by some MBA: Punish your customers for being your customers.
Sound crazy? Several well-known software and service vendors don't seem to think so.

For just ten dollars more, you can get your hands on over 500 great training videos for Visual Studio .NET.
