The fact the the guy whose job was to market VFP has left the team and not replaced is very telling of the future. If that and other VFP team changes in the past year haven't been a wake up call for people, then they're not sleeping...they're dead.

>There were technical reasons, 10 years ago, to push things other than VFP. But if they don't include VFP in their plans now to go after large business apps, I don't see a future for the language. I think there might be a niche there for VFP+Terminal Server.
