Hi Mike,

Stew, Saunders, and I are on the UT all the time and we *love* bugs. By all means, report bugs loudly and often. That's not negative at all; it helps us improve the product. Reporting reproducible bugs puts you in our pantheon of really great customers. I welcome a personal email from anyone who has a bug....I research them and respond - ask anyone who's ever sent me one.

OTOH, if you're going to make a lot of noise about the product, at least support it by upgrading when the upgrades are available. If you want to wait to upgrade for personal or business reasons, I respect that, but I ask that you hold off on damaging or derogatory comments until you've had sufficient hands-on time on the latest version to post informed comments.

VFP7 rocks! It's so tuned towards developer productivity and so solid that I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't upgrade.


>There was never any doubt that I intended to upgrade, when it suited my schedule and best interests. I'm sure I will enjoy the new features, and I expect to continue finding VFP to be a terrific, high-quality product, which is why I became a devoted user in the first place. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if I run across a few more bugs. If I report those bugs, am I being negative? It is not a healthy attitude to look at things this way.
