>1. The new "Intellisense" seems to behave identically to the one in VB 5.0 - so close, in fact, I'm tempted to call VFP6.0 Visual FoxBasic 6.0. A VERY NICE feature.

Intellisense was shown in VB reading the type library of a VFP OLE server.
What you saw otherwise was Ken Levy's SUPERCLS.

>7.0 Forget going to VB to make your COM objects, you can roll your own in VFP6.0

We had that in 5.0 - no news there. And as before if it's an Activex CONTROL with user interface, VB is the tool.
VFP will only create what used to be called Automation servers, now COM.

>8.0 Create an app and run it in THE web browser (IE 4.01) as if it were on your desktop. Which it will be because during the load and run it downloads to your workstation. A new method of install for those with fast connections to the internet?

Unsuitable for the Internet, who will wait for the 3MB foxpro runtime system?
Active Documents are really useful on an INTRANET.

>14.0 Filer is BACK!!!!! (I'll be baccckkkk!)

Again, available from ClassX and the MS Website for 5.0 - no news there.
