>It seems to me that I'm not to happy with this release. There are a lot nice looking gadgets like this "docking" ,tasklist/bookmark which losts the related line on insert - but not on delete and so one. Useless. I waste a lot of time to start things working but they don't.

THis is documented in the Readme Addendum at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/downloads/updates.asp.

The most new commands look like they are needful for intellisense - and this is a matter of taste. (After a couple of years I have an idea of syntax - eh?).

Intellisense alone is worth the upgrade. ALso, just because you don't use COM, XML, etc today, doesn't mean you won't need them tomorrow. You should upgrade and start working with these technologies so you are prepared when you need them.
