Charles;

You do have several good points and VFP 8.0 beta may be the main factor for some to attend Devcon. Now how about "equal time" (treatment) with other VFP events? That is advertise the VFP 8.0 beta will be handed out at other VFP events? Oh well, that is a Microsoft decision.

>>>I do get the picture to some extent – there are a limited number of Beta testers and resources. Additional copies of VFP 8.0 will be given to DevCon attendees without support from Microsoft. It is just the logic that bothers me. <<
