I think, in the contrary, that there will be a SP1. There *has* to be, since for instance, there are some bugs Right-to-Left Languages related, that make the product unusable. So, what should i do with my 8 ( yes, eight ) full-version copies of VFP8, sell them back to Microsoft?
Also, i got a word from JohnK that these issues were known and looked into, so is there a way to apply fixes for that without a service pack?
