Hi James

I have not been following this thread but your message was shown to me when I logged in so I did read it.

What is happening in this thread and other threads that came up before is, IMO, I feel that the VFP community is taking it, most probably unconsciously, personally. Just becuase VFP has been mis-treated / mis-represented does not mean it will stop having users all of a sudden, in fact hopefully we will start earning more as there are lot of VFP products out there which will want to be maitained and as the big lot will be in .NET and other languages, the demand and supply rule just might kick in.

I have seen a major hospital in India using DOS based app on which it running as efficiently, just becuase the OS was Windows does not mean even the older xBase applications are dead, the beautiful VFP still has a long way to go support or no support.

Actually these threads should be where they belong in the .NET forum. People following VFP and .NET forums are the target audience. The Only VFP forum watchers are the Die-Hard kind of people, they are not going to shift, no not yet. Thus such threads, to an already badly shaken community with such rumors, are taken as a personal insult.

Putting such threads here are basically an insult to the community. A community to which these same announcers were a major part and also benefactors of and from VFP.
