Don't sleep on free threading - this is an incredibly powerful (and dangerous) feature for n-tier work. I can just see some inexperienced VB programmer firing off multiple instances of a COM object that spawns threads whose processes crash the server. Great for hackers.

I'm sure hoping VFP gets some of this stuff.
