If reading this title didn�t upset you enough to want to erase it from the board, then you haven�t really tried v8 yet.
I am not going to talk about all the fantastic new features that was added for the desktop and web server, the many new functions, the new browse looks and layout options, the web security server, the new looks for xdialogs, etc. etc.!!!
After all I don�t work for Alpha, and I will leave it for them to convince the world of the great product that they are just about to complete, after about 2 � years.
But I can�t skip on this one; SPEED IMPROVEMENT I tested in with many of my Apps, and I have seen a tremendous improvement, the apps initialize much quicker, xdialogs execute much faster, reports and operations run a lot faster then before, I ran a preview for a report (an aging report which creates a temporary table and records for the report) on both versions, in v7 it took 129 seconds and 97 seconds for v8, it�s about 25% faster. This means instead of working 40 hours a week you can work only 30 hours! I also found that records save quicker, etc.
I decided to upgrade all my clients to v8 (the ones that are now using v5 or higher) even if I am not planning to make any changes to there apps now, just because the speed increase. May I suggest you all follow this path��.
