How do u know?
There are rumors of expanding the Vanilla line in '08. They're adding a Killer XC fork.
Fox Vanilla 90 X
90mm travel
Terralogic with lockout
Coil Sprung
27mm stanchions
High and low speed rebound controls
10mm through axle
Disc only I'm afraid
Should weigh in at 3.1 lbs because of the smaller stanchions

There is somewhat of a glitch so far with the low speed rebound settings. With it turned too far clockwise, they pack up under hard pedaling. It's a conflict with the Terralogic compression damping and the low speed rebound. The high speed rebound is perfect as well as the lockout. They said 5 wt oil instead of the standard 7.5 wt should solve the issue.
The lowers are still going to be Magnesium like the current Vanilla, but the dropouts are Easton CNT. They are still testing the life of the dropouts because the 10mm through axle's quick release is so powerful that it causes the dropouts to spread and bind. They said that this is pretty normal to have a few glitches here and there in a non production model fork. They still have 18 months to get it all ironed out.

Personally, I'd never buy a fork that is brand new to the market. I would want it to be out for at least a year to get all the glitches of the mass produced model smoothed out.
You should probably stick with an F90 RLC or F90X.
