We "upgraded" to VFP 6.0 last September, where I work, and yesterday a 16MB service patch (spc2 - there wasn't an spc1) was made available for downloading. It only took 5 MONTHS to attempt to fix some bugs, but the major bugs are still chewing holes in the apps. It also seems that it wasn't enough that M$ forced one to isntall their latest version of Internet Explorer (to read the HTML docs) when VFP 6.0 was initially installed, this service pack installs M$'s version of the Java VM. Just more pushing and shoving of the sheep into the M$ corral for more shearing.
