You mean you now at leisure can have multiple (more than 3) related databases on one layout without jumping trough rings while singin the marseljes like in a normal database application? You mean data is now separated from structure? You are saying that there is now a proper programming language in place that can work on the low level? You are claiming that FM7 now have proper layout events, instead of buttons, in place so that user actions can start functions? That you finally have live ODBC connections? Correct me if I'm wrong, but except for the last item, I think none of the above is happening even in FM7. The only thing that could save FM in my eyes is a total rework from the ground up and I've seen no indication that FM 7 is that. However, I expect it to be better than FM6.
