You forgot to tell that putting energies on a demo version would take time away from the all the marketing efforts <g>. And we really don't want that to happen.

>>I need to test VFP8 without paying. I do not want to work with BETA .
>>Why something that is quite common in software industry (see VS.NET see DELPHI etc etc etc) can't be done in case of VFP. It seem SO EASY. I do not understand. I do not understand. Such things make me feel more and more like stupid staying with VFP ?
