Bravo!

BTW, the following news is about another topic, but includes one important observation:

Since Windows 8 was announced it has been clear that a shift of power within Microsoft has made C#, and the whole .NET system, look less attractive - you could say that the re-imagining of Windows brought the limelight back on C++.

Thanks for your support and links :-)

We are using C/C++ to build Harbour for WinRT and FiveWinRT so I guess we choosed the right tools :-)

Hi Guys!

We are happy of the result of testing of our POS on Windows 8.

But the posibiity of Harbour and FW RT is more exiciting.

The C/C++ approach for Harbour made by Anotnio realy works.

My congratulations to Harbour and FW team!

This can be an opportunity for Harbour to attract more developers.

Cheers! :D

Jose
