Give it time; it's still early in the product life cycle. If you'd ever dealt with early ".0" releases of something like PowerBuilder, I think you'd be less inclined to fault VFP 6.0 at this point. While there are a significant number of problems, many of them are of our own making, and there have been workarounds found for some problems.

I'd say your own experiences are atypical as far as having system components completely scrambled by VFP 6 apps at least.
