Hi, Pedro.

>No!!
>Dishonest is to push the people to buy new versions of software every six months without real improvements in each one. I think that from 3 to 8 only 3,5 and 8 are realy *new versions*.

I'm sorry but I strongly disagree with you. For me every new version of VFP, and even the SP3 for VFP 6 have added a lot of improvements.

You're, for example, leaving out of your list VFP 7. That version added Intellisense, Web Services support, much better COM support, and much more. To have a real idea of just some of the many improvements, you can read this article from Erik Moore (spanish link provided): http://www.microsoft.com/latam/msdn/articulos/2002/06/art08/default.asp

Indeed, I see that VFP is one of the tools that gave me the better return on investment. As most people here, I invest 300/400 dollars per developer every two years or so, and I produce a few thousands per developer -in the worst scenario- with that. Of course this balance is quite crippled by our country's economic situation, but that's another story. Compared with many other development tools, VFP is really cheap.

I can't avoid taking the chance to invite you to join to the VFP Spanish Edition forum. You can access it by selecting it in your forum list within your account setup.

Saludos,
