>Yes, and with that sad official announcement of no VFP10, there is good news that the Sedna add-on pack will be released by the end of summer (North American summer, that is) as a FREE downloadable package, and also will be released with full source code as an open source project on CodePlex for community support in the future.

>Let's talk about it, folks... what do you think? Does this change your plans in any way? Is this something that you didn't already know was going to happen?

Nothing I didn't know was going to happen....but since it's "official" now, I probably won't be creating any new VFP apps - I guess I'll make them with C#.

What *would* be nice to see is Micro$oft do an experiment with VFP by making it open source. If they ever wanted to give it a shot VFP would be a good one to try it on because of how devoted the VFP community is.
