Hi Laura,

According to John Koziol (Ken's letter,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/letters/), "VFP 9.0 is so stable... How
stable is it?" I can't see any reason for waiting. VFP9 fixes bugs that were
in earlier versions so even if you don't use any of the new features, that
in itself is enough reason to upgrade. I guess I'll just never understand
the "wait for the service pack" mentality.
