Wow, how time flies!!! Dateline: 2001-02-26
Microsoft announced today that Visual FoxPro 7.0 has entered Beta 2 and will ship earlier than expected. Beta 2 is a closed beta for Visual FoxPro developers who have worked closely with the Visual FoxPro team on previous betas of the product. "Visual FoxPro will be ready to ship late this Spring," said Ricardo Wenger, Visual FoxPro Group Manager. "Our customers have told us that they want all the new features we have been working on and we want to ship this product as soon as we can." Microsoft also announced today that Visual FoxPro 7.0 will no longer be included in the upcoming Visual Studio.NET product. Visual FoxPro will continue to be available via MSDN Subscription Services, which provide priority access to Microsoft development software, product updates, and essential programming information necessary to develop Web Services and applications. "Shipping separately gives us not only the flexibility to ship Visual FoxPro 7.0 sooner, but also the ability to ship future versions with a shorter product cycle," said Wenger. "We don't have to wait for the next version of Visual Studio." I would like to thank all of you who helped us make this decision. I'll be here frequently this week and next to answer any and all questions.
