Kevin,

The time difference between VFP6 and 7 was due to Visual Studio. The VFP team could not set their own time schedules back then. They can now. At last year's DevCon, Calvin was taking an informal poll to find out how long the community wanted to wait between releases. I think the biggest vote was 18-24 months. Based on those numbers, I expect to see Toledo released in the December 2002 - June 2003 time frame.

I understand it is probably your goal to get most people into VFP7 first though.
