>For instance, the ramifications of Try..Catch error handling take awhile to sink in, but represent a major advancement forward. The same is true for Collections, sub-classable Member objects, Data Environment class enhancements, and on and on the list goes.

These three alone are enough for me, specially my old woe on subclassable members. VFP7 had already come with a few of my old wishes fulfilled, and 8 has many more. I think some of the things (collating sequences with individual indexes, codepage with text objects, and subclassable members) were done just the way I described them either here in one of the threads, or in the wish list.

Just tried to tell a few of these to my wife (who couldn't care less :), and she said she hasn't seen me happy with a new toy for quite a while :)
