John,
I see your name associated with doing some work with VB, so you might know something bout this. But at
http://www.wopr.com it is mentioned that the VS 6 SR is so soon because there are some brutal bugs in VB. The SR docs also mention some VC bugs. As a matter of fact the folks at Wopr say that VB 6 broke some stable VB 5 code and they are very upset.

Typically, the first SP wont shipuntil 6 months or so after a product ships. I have never seen a SP this quick. I bet the beta was no more than a day or two - assuming there was one. So, while you and a few folks may think VFP is getting snubbed, I don't think that is the case. The VFP team is still committed to getting issues with MTS fixed. If I had to guess, and that is all I am doing by the way, I would say it is possible we may see something late winter or early spring. Mind you, this is just conjecture on my part.
