It's time to retire some old products. NS Basic/Palm was for devices last produced in 2007. Windows Mobile ended in 2010, rendering NS Basic/CE obsolete. NS Basic/Desktop has had similarly low demand in the past few years.

It has also gotten harder for us to provide support. The tools we used to create these products have been discontinued by their developers and will not run on modern equipment. Our own recollection of the details of the products has also been fading, making it difficult to deliver great support.

It has been a good run for these products. NS Basic/Palm lasted 12 years, NS Basic/CE 15. That's extraordinary for software. Good bye - it's been great!

I was tempted to jump in and say its too early to retire the CE product as I'm still using and selling product.
However since the CE operating system is not developing any further then maybe the development language has reached optimum functionality so I can understand your decision.

So my opinion is that as long as the support group remains here and we are able to download the last version and samples etc then I don't see a problem.

Can you advise the last version number please so that existing users can check we are up to date? If we are not up to date is there an easy path?

Thanks
