You missed MY point.
I know that MSDN is not free but it comes with it, and I get it for the VFP stuff mainly, and it helps support the VFP team which is what I was getting at.

>1. The issue was BUG FIXES and not "upgrades". We're all happy to pay for upgrades of significance. BUGS are another matter and it is my opinion that anyone who dismisses them as minor/irrelevant does us ALL a disservice. It is immaterial that the VFP Team is small and possibly in jeopardy.


>2) It is also a VERY sore point that long-reported bugs remain as bugs even to this date - another issue raised and ignored in your reply. In fact the real sore point is that all bugs go into the black hole called Microsoft. Fortunately, in a few cases, we now get acknowledgement that a bug has been SUBMITTED. While that represents a bit of progress, the fact that it's status is thereafter LOST and UNKNOWN is troublesome.

>3) That you get VFPx through MSDN is true, but you fool only yourself if you think it's "free". Your subscription price includes such updates, and I seriously doubt that anyone would subscribe if it did not.
