>> There are many, many other features of VFP8. VFP8 will be a very significant upgrade. If I was still in the developer world I would be salivating. <<
And to add to John's reply here, the VFP 8.0 beta just released to beta sites is very solid, possibly the most stable beta of VFP ever. This thanks to our great VFP test team as well as the great VFP alpha and beta sites who provide feedback.
Also, I plan to release information directly to the UT after the keynote with detailed information about VFP 8.0 to compliment the great UT reports from DevCon that get posted to make sure everyone gets all the information and annoucements released there.
