From a far distance (compared to your connections) I see it similarly too.

I see Sedna as Microsoft's final concession, to give us some legitimacy in the VISTA environment and SednaX as being Microsoft's "over to you, community.".

I don't, from what I've gleaned so far, see LINQ as anything close to 'VFP.NET' and some have suggested that LINQ isn't even that VFP-like. At this point I guess it's a bit early to know either way.

Still, no matter how I look at it, VFP's future is long and strong yet. Medium/small businesses should remain a huge market (as long as North America's ultimate destination isn't trading used WalMart goods on eBay run from China) and while they are VFP will be their best bet by far.
I see the one possible fly in the ointment (aside from everything being in China) as being Word+SQLServer becoming a viable replacement for programming in general. My bet is that this is closer than anyone thinks.
