Well Microsoft should make that clear to people, shouldn't they.
Why do they expect everyone to know what a "CTP" is, and what it's 'limitations' are?????

I've stayed away from "CTPs" myself, but apparently for a totally silly reason... I interpreted "CTP" - Community Technology Preview" to mean some cooked-up prototype of some real thing that's coming along.
I know I was very confused by the announcement of the VFP2SP2 availability. It wasn't clear to me that it was the real thing or a CTP, the way it was worded. So I decided to wait until I saw comments here. Sure glad I did! Normally I'd have jumped at a VFPSP2.
