I couldn't agree more.
It is so easy to code great desktop apps with VFP that will remain great throughout Vista's lifespan without change that anything from MS beyond the occasional engineering fix aren't really needed. Nice to have, of course, but not crucial.
MS is still promoting Access as a small desktop, file-servin' development tool. Everywhere I've looked in my years as a developer and curmudgeon at large, VFP could kick Access's butt in the right hands. As long as Access "developers" pushing oversized solutions exist, there can be VFP developers making them obsolete....bwahahahaha.
>I am really looking forward to Sedna, while the product itself will have great value as a package, the real value to VFP and the VFP Community is going to be the shift in the understanding of what is possible in the future of VFP... a future so bright I'm coding with shades on these days! VFP imminently doomed without more from Microsoft? HAHAHAHAHA - OK, whatever. :)
