What does support look like after delivery of SP02? The development team will be reassigned to other projects -- so what will be the "real" support? Only if a show-stopper type bug is discovered (which is very unlikely) would M$ assign one of the programmers to fix it; lesser bugs will be ignored. Then would the original team still be available? Would they have left or assigned to a high priority project? So a less experienced (at least in the VFP code base) programmer would then try to fix the "show-stopper" bug. Not a very good scenario.

So, practically speaking, support is ending after SP02. Right now it is best the entire VFP community look hard at SP02 and try to identify all problems. The chances to get them fixed later will be very slim to none.
