I can understand how you feel. Actually, .NET will be released for the retail market on February 13th. When Visual FoxPro 7.0 was released, several European countries received it before the United States. Although we received it a few days later we were more than anxious to have the product in our hands!
Perhaps you could e-mail Ken Levy at
klevy@microsoft.com to see if he has any information that might be of assistance to you.
