I think you might of hit the nail right on the head. Is Microsoft .net going
to be a happy camper with a progress database running on Linux. With the
cost and speed being the obvious reasons to go to Linux this might be the
biggest reason why not.

Does that mean you can go to Linux for now, but have to come back to the
.Net later?
My blond roots are big time. I still don't have a good handle on .Net.

Dina,
Sonoma was the big announcement at Perspectives. Vantage's future will be
running on .net with a progress database. It's rewriting the programs in
this new language but still using a progress database.

Sorry for the dumb question.

Joanne,
Here is a quick list.
Look on the Epicor web site now for vantage version 6.0 features. (Beta
Release)
Progress Fathom - Browser based management tool for promon, protools,
backups, alters, etc...
Progress will run on Linix and Epicor will support this. (Word on the
street
is it's fast.)
Look on Progress's web site for benchmarking on Linux.
Vantage version 7 due out first quarter 2004 will be an upgrade to our
current architecture and .net / progress based (Project Sonoma).
Avante, Dataflow, ManMan, etc... will be migrating to Sonoma along with
Vantage and Vista.
We will all be give the option of the Sonoma Architecture Starting with
version 7 along with just staying with our current architecture for a
couple
of releases anyway.
Overall the conference had a lot of sessions, I think around 250. I saw
a
general excitement with the Epicor employees in taking about the
products
features and future. More information given out this year and fewer
bitch
sessions. With all the plans/direction/information given out I think I
may
have walked away with more questions than I started with but that's a
good
thing.
With the Manufacturing Group making the money at Epicor and Vantage the
main
product to be pulled into Sonoma you can say for now we rule the roost.
By
the way Sonoma is like the wine not the truck. (:-)
