Dear Anton,

Nice to see your picture there! ;-)

>IMHO there are nothing revolutionary in those features described in Mr Levy's letters. This could be good as service pack not as new version.

Please, don't assume that the feature set that has being made public is the only thing we'll see in Europa. I remember some people making that wrong assumption after the first Toledo (VFP8) previews.

Tipically, what's presented that early on the development cycle is 20~30% of the final features.

In this particular case, anyway, I think there are already some impressive new features, like:

1. Object oriented reports (this one alone justifies the version for me!)
2. UI: Docking forms, Anchoring properties for controls, Rotating labels, Polypoints, and other GDI+ goodies.
3. Background compilation (allowing Intellisense into With/Endwith, For/Each, etc)

And there lots other stuff, *plus* all that we don't know yet. My guess is that Europa will be a great upgrade as VFP 8, if not greater.

Best regards,
