Blog posts tagged with '16-bit applications'

Last week, I wrote about the challenges related to the on-coming waves of Windows in the next few years. This week, I thought I would ask my readers about 16-bit apps - many of us have them, though many can't say we love them. Supporting 16-bit apps has become exponentially challenging with each hardware cycle and new release of the Windows OS. As an example, if you have 16-bit apps running on one or two year old servers, chances are you are running your 16-bit app on Windows 2003 (32-bit OS & WOW) and probably on a 64-bit processor. There are simply too many layers for things to go wrong.

So, my question to you this week...

What are you plans for 16-bit applications?	Choose
Definitely keeping 16-bit apps as long as we can - even if without vendor support
Already have migration plan on the roadmap for 16-bit apps
Not sure – haven't thought about it
We've thought about it and decided to revisit at a later time
Don't have any 16-bit apps

I'll post the results in a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, please don't hesitate to contact me with questions.
