I'm not sure about this.

I don't believe that companies are going to abandon their considerable investment in 32-bit apps anytime soon.

It's going to be awhile before we see 64-bit line-of-business apps. Even then, VFP plays well in 32-bit Wow on 64-bit systems and the blinding speed of VFP in some areas will keep it a play (IMHO).

Honestly, there are no current plans for a 64-bit VFP. It's not even been seriously discussed.

>Sure, smaller companies will still use 32 bit apps for a while longer just as Foxpro 2.6 is still widely used.
