I certainly hope so. I'm one of the complainers, and I tried very hard to point out that I thing VFP8 is excellent (from what I've seen of it) and that the VFP team did a wonderful job. It's MS's upgrade policy that I'm unhappy with, that and the insult to our intelligence that this policy was designed to encourage upgrades.
