>>when your clients encounter bugs in the software they purchased from you are you satisfied with letting them 'work around' those bugs? <<
Depends. If the workaround is obvious and not damaging or particularly difficult (eg if message x comes up, do not answer Yes, answer No and try again) then we issue a "known issue" bulletin and a schedule for delivery, generally next quarterly release. If the bug prevents use completely, we fix it stat.
I agree that all software has bugs, including VFP. If the workaround isn't too onerous of course I do that.
FWIW, I regard datetime settings defaulting to "American" as a bug and always have. What other software is there that defaults to anything but the system settings? But the workaround is easy so I live with it.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
