>What portion do you feel is too harsh? The part where I said they are ignoring it? That was the only opinion.

Exactly.

>The rest was just facts. And they definitely ignore bugs at times. Look at the bugs that have been in the product for years that they never fix. And these days they say "this is the most stable version of VFP, yet", but refuse to release a bug list or bug fix list for the "dot-oh" version.

I agree totally that having no official buglist is a lousy way to operate - especially as this practice might cost the individual developer [= MS customer] quite a bit of unneccesary time. My personal guess is a fear at MS of somebody using such a list in court...

>Well, this is the first version of VFP where, upon upgrading, my clients have run into significant problems. Fortunately not so significant that we are going to move back to VFP 7, but more significant than any I experienced before.

7 had a few more problems in the non-english versions <g>.

>I imagine they will do the same thing in VFP 8 - "it the most stable version yet", but won't back that up with details.

I won't bet against it...
