Hi Bill:
Just trying to catch up and noticed that no one has yet responded to your questions. For us, VPF6 was an improvement in reliability and stability right away, and SP3 has a number of bug fixes that should improve on that, as well as some 'sneaked in' additional features that are not to be missed, from what was described at DevCon last week... We haven't really had time to fully investigate all the stuff yet, but there is a KB/readme section on the M$ website...
As for price: If all you want is VFP-6.0 upgrade, Programmer's Paradise shows upgrade pricing of $190 in their current catalog... The whole VS-6.0 upgrade is $379, however. And, yes, it probably too early to find a fully patched product in the box... You can d/l SP3 if you have a fast connection, or if you can wait, you can order the CD from M$.
