Either what he said hasn't happened or what you thought you heard wasn't what he thought he said. :) I don't know which it is. I can't imagine any senior corporate figure committing to make a new product like InfoPath available free in the way you seem to have heard him say. Why would it be free? It looks to be a good, interesting and innovative product. So why free?
Of course, as the corporate marketing people say, things can change but InfoPath works (in the beta version) and has oodles of potential. So vapourware? I don't think so. I, for one, will be very disappointed if it doesn't make it to market. And I will be surprised if it doesn't have a considerable impact. The fact that something you imagined might be available free will have to be paid for doesn't, by any logic I can follow, make it "vapourware". Andrew Watt
