>5. So, what happens if Microsoft does kill of Fox? We, as knowledgeable Fox developers will be in great shape. Why? No one will learn Fox and someone will have to maintain those millions of lines of code. Yes, some will be rewritten, but most of it will be maintained. (Refer to point #3)

>6. If Fox is killed off, we will learn something new. It doesn’t matter if it is VB, Delphi, PowerBuilder, Java or something else. Rather than wait, we should all be advancing and learning something else now. I’ve expressed my opinion that VB is the way to go, but it is just that…my opinion. By learning other tools, clients will be impressed that you are keeping up with technology. This will especially help those that deal with large corporations. You can sell them on the best solution, rather than a VFP solution. If you don’t think this works, talk to people like Jim Booth and John Petersen.

I think these two points are important. Relax, be happy. If you like VFP today, then use it. If it dies, you don't have to. Life goes on. But it is very alive today, so produce some good software and enjoy.

And the Jazz aren't dead...yet. Look for Stockton to generate some offence...
