>>I will use it at home, and perhaps get the network boys to install it on my machine at work. No "must have" features yet... although Craig mentioned something about automatic software install. Put an EXE on the network, if a user clicks on it, it will realize the user doesn't have the runtime DLLS and such and install them. Have to see how this will pan out.

Instead of trying to make everything backward compatible, they are going to give up on that, and rely on numerous different versions which will be exact fits for the apps they're supposed to serve. Also, they will try to keep them out of the main System directory, which has become a quagmire of files, when possible. All makes real good sense to me...

I like the sound of that. I hope eventually that VFP will officially support having all of its runtime files in the same folder as the EXE or better yet in any (configurable) folder.
