>I'd like to say it's all self-interest, because that is surely a large part of it. The other part is that I'm excited. I remember being excited by VFP 1.0, then 2.6 for Windows, and then VFP 6.0 (it worked <s>). I can't be certain, but I think looking back I will conclude that I was most excited by the development of this product. It is SO cool! <s>

VFP 1.0? :)

I think so Foxpro V 1.0 was terrible.

I think so Foxpro's milesones are:

2.0 - it was excited me by fast 32 bit .EXE's and unlimited memory usage.
3.0 - first object oriented version, but I could never used that.
6.0

and VFP.NET will be revolution after DbaseIII->Foxbase->Foxpro->Visual Foxpro revolutions "if they will succeeded"...
