Agreed - an important point. Sometimes we see delays in additional functionality, and at other times we see very quick responses. In the end, I think that the situation is much more complicated than is usually represented. The problem with the FoxPro is Dead rumors every version is that the "evidence" (pro and con) is represented based on 1992 standards -- but it's a different, and ever evolving, world out there, and between C#, web forms, and lawsuits, it is harder than ever to predict these things.
