>You make one interesting point I had not thought of, which is that VFP may become incompatible with future releases of Windows. Even if it isn't outright incompatible the UI of apps developed with VFP may look ugly and behind the times. There are still FoxPro DOS apps running (lots of them, I'm sure) but they don't look like we expect a modern program to look, do they? By 2015 a VFP 9 app may look as up to date as a character-based teal and magenta program.


Yeah, this is a bit of a problematic point. Even with Vista and WPF that is already true. Supporting Glass is not something the average VFP developer will do. Animations and 3D? Not so much. And while these things may theoretically still be possible (although probably not feasible), nobody has been able to really tell me how VFP UIs will work on high-resolution displays...
