>I don't know why everybody is getting so excited about vaporware at this point in the VStudio cycle... C'mon people - VS7 is almost a year away!

You're right...it is a long way out before release, but is there any difference between this and people getting excited about new cars coming out next year? If you're into cars, you still want to know what's coming.

I also want to know what areas I should be studying today to help me leverage what's coming down the road. One of the questions raised is, "Will VFP 7.0 support COM+?" If it will, I want to learn about it today. There are other similar questions about technologies. Should we learn about some of them anyway? Probably so. (In my case I *have* to learn about them).
