Also interesting is the loss of that stupid upgrade/downgrade crap that was in VFP8. There doesn't seemp to be an upgrade provision about getting rid of previous versions anymore at all, and the downgrade point now says nothing about getting rid of earlier versions 'after a reasonable time'. Maybe if there is a next version, this nonsense will also disappear.

>>Never mind 'jumping through hoops'. I assume that a lot of the apps written will be illegal. If you attach VFP9 to MSSQL in order to reap the benefits of a true dbms, and to lose the 2 gig limitation in VFP, I guess you'd be violating the EULA. So much for all the hype about using vfp with Sql 2000 etc.
