>>>>Note: SP2 has a bug where tooltips don't appear in grids. We had to downgrade to SP1, since this is essential functionality in our app. The tooltips are multi-line descriptions of sku and quantity, and change with each line. They are used quite often by users as a double-check while in that particular grid.

>You are correct, there may not be any Features in SP2 that are needed for a specific application. The one problem we are facing with SP1 is that some clients install another software that registers VFP SP2 libraries and then there are issues. As a workaround we are now copying the VFP libraries into the same location where the executable is and don't register them anymore.

SP2 fixes a lot of bugs. It's not a good idea to stick with SP1.
