You should read my remarks and replies here on the UT more frequently.

Sorry, but I simply do not have the time.

Do you think negative of those who choose not to participate?

Of course not. If you re-read your own post you will see that you said First, the relationship between my company and my clients is a bit different from the relationship we have with MS. VFP is an off-the-shelf product and I have had no opportunity to beta test the full product. I was merely pointing out that you did have the opportunity to beta test the product and that if you chose not to, that you have no right to complain about it.

Should bugs be considered by MS? Yes, of course they should be addressed.

I have participated in serveral product beta tests and I happen to think that MS does address the bugs. I have sent bug reports in with full repro examples and the bugs have been fixed. Apparently, you do not agree that MS listens to the bug reports.

The type of bugs that I report, are typically bugs that should be gone in the next version. MS's attitude should be that reported bugs ought to have been addressed in the next version.

I have not seen your bug reports. However, (and this is not personally addressed to you - it is an observation in general) I can tell you that I have seen a number of posts here and elsewhere that have titles like "Major Bug: yada yada yada" and it is not a bug at all. Instead, it is soemthing that does not work the way the questioner expects it to because the questioner has faulty assumptions.

At times nobody here knows the answer and the type of bug indicates that probably only MS can know the answer. In that case it would be nice if someone from MS could be addressed here.

I have seen MS staff here, so I do not understand your issue.

I think that we have beaten this topic to death and will just have to agree to disagree.
