>Glad VFP 7.0 is available for download. We all know that software is never complete or “anomaly” free. This is a product that has been anxiously waited for and now it is here!

I know... I can hardly wait to get my hands on it!

>I congratulate the Microsoft staff for it’s fine work. At the same time I have mixed emotions about the “hot fix” issued yesterday. This is certainly a “heads up” from Microsoft and shows they are on top of issues that concern us. At the same time I am concerned that the retail version will not have the fixes. I just hate to see VFP 7.0 “go out the door” with known problems. This is a difficult position IMO for Microsoft but this is the world of software development.

I'm glad they were so fast to get the fixes out... maybe they will be in the box later... a 7.01 version??

>Somehow I feel if the product is released to the retail market with problems of this type it will be viewed as a less than professional product. We have enough of that concept to overcome within the IT world. This could just be more “egg on face syndrome” for developers.

I don't think you have to worry about that too much.... most developers will have the hot fixes and service packs as they come along.

In fact... YOU do right now!! ((grin)).
