Sorry for butting in again. But in part I agree with you and your concerns.

My reluctancy is with my customers. By applying Chen's enhancements and bug fixes, I am obligating my customers to do the same. They may have problems with it. They may see it as a violation of the EULA. They may even have a problem with it coming from China (with is a hot subject lately.) The difference is the laws between our countries may raise concerns with my customers. With that said, I have elected not to use Chen's product for production. When it was first introduced, I ask if it could be installed without effecting the existing VFP9. The response I saw were giving the impression that could not. I have played with it in VM, but not in my real development environment. If it ever is shown that it is legal without any reservations, I would be glad to use it in production.

I hope you hear something from MS, one way or another.
