>Win95 and VFP7 will work Ok.

I thought you've said you are weary about upgrading? How do you know they'll work if you haven't tried?

>This "Windows 98 or later" must be another way Micro$oft is trying to get people to spend money on their product. :)

For what its worth, when I was doing some tests with the pre-beta VFP7, there were problems using it on Windows 95.
