Wow, you're a tough grader! VFP 3.0 was radically different from FP 2.6. We'll never know but I seriously doubt Fox Software could have done it. Yes, it was buggy. When you fundamentally rewrite a complex piece of software that is not shocking. And the bugs were addressed with reasonable speed.

I am not a blind defender of Microsoft but I think you're being a bit rough on them here.
