My understanding of VFP6 is that it will definitely be released next year, but probably about the time of the next DevCon which is in May. And since Windows 98 is rescheduled for spring too, that should add to all of the goodies that Microsoft will release at one time. Also, remember that VFP6 (code named Tahoe) will release right along with the next version of Visual Studio. It is going to be an expensive time for developers, corporations, and end users alike.
