We have a winner! Send me your mailing address so I can send you the VFP 8.0 polo shirt. I now wish I would have disqualified anyone who is or was an MVP to allow someone else to win. There is a bit of irony here though, since I recall it was you who actually suggested the code name of "Toledo" almost two years ago when the Fox team had the community vote and submit a code name for us to use for working on VFP 8.0. You better wear it!
So I will give away another VFP 8.0 polo shirt to have someone else win. This time, the only people who can (or should) answer is someone who doesn't have a VFP 8.0 polo shirts already. Please don't reply John (I know you hear that a lot here!). <bg>
This one is going to be hard, I think, and will probably require research. For a VFP 8.0 polo shirt... Who was I having dinner with last year when I came up with the name "Europa" as the code name for the upcoming version of VFP?

Hi Michael. "Whidbey" is the code name for the next version of Visual Studio .NET, just like "Europa" is the code name for the next version of Visual FoxPro. The next version of the Microsoft .NET Framework (version 2.0) will be included in "Whidbey", so it doesn't have its own code name. You may already now, but "Yukon" is the code name for the next version of SQL Server. I understand that "ProFox" is the code name for the next version of the=20
Can anyone list the code names that Microsoft used for VFP 3.0, VFP 3.0 Mac, VFP 5.0, VFP 6.0, VFP 7.0, and VFP 8.0? I will send a very cool VFP 8.0 polo shirt to the first person who replies with the right answer here on ProFox (all 6 code names).

What is the "Whidbey Box" ??? I did a google search and it had a url for Don Box's blog page, but all I could gather from a cursory look it that it appears to be a name for the .Net Framework, much like "Longhorn" or "Europa" or other "code names" from M$.
