>>I noticed that many developers seem to have upgraded until VFP version 6, but then stopped. At work we still use version 6. I suggested upgrading, but it seems they are not too keen on the expense. A while ago, the reason was rather the compatibility with operating systems (version 8 or later is not designed to work with Windows 95), but by now, that should be irrelevant.

>Ignorance? :-)
Perhaps. Ignorance might include: (1) Not knowing enough about the new features, (2) Having assimilated the never-to-die rumor that there will be no further development in VFP.
