December 2006 - Letter from the Editor
This latest newsletter from VFP Team talks about some Sedna updates related to Windows Vista. Earlier last year Craig Boyd's blog had some information about new Sedna features that Craig was working on with VFP Team. Craig revealed some things that were being considered for as Sedna additions. Among the features discussed were Windows Presentation Foundation controls, XPS documents for VFP reports and new Task Dialog control. More updates are expected.
Taxing the international Universal Thread customers??
In January 2005, the Canada Revenue Agency has ruled Level Extreme to tax its foreign customers. That is considered by Level Extreme as one of worst ruling ever done on a Canadian company. This ruling has jeopardized and harmed the administrative operations of a Canadian company, which has removed its capabilities to compete equally against other international companies in the same business. It's unacceptable that Canadian companies are forced to tax international customers with an insulting Canadian tax. If the Canada Revenue Agency does not adjust accordingly, Canadian companies doing e-commerce business or ones with the desire to do so would have to leave the country in favour of offshore setups.
