Are there still bugs? Well, of course there are. There's no application in the world that is completely bug free. But we're pretty sure we've found and killed the majority of showstoppers (AKA C5s).

I agree. Each version gets more stable.

And maybe it's time to apoligize officially to Microsoft. Remember back when Windows 2000 came out and VFP 6 woudl sometimes trash memo files (including scx/scx and frx/frt) when W2K had an ~abnormal~ shutdown?

A couple of years ago, I blue-screened (after I had closed out of VFP6 about 90 minutes earlier) and still lost a lot of work. I posted a very angry letter here directed at Microsoft. In hind-sight, I probably should have slept on it for a day before writing that message.

Anyway, that problem got fixed in VFP 7.0 (thank you!). And I hereby apologize to Microsoft for writing that hostile letter...
