Pretty doggone durable is my opinion. The only brick wall I see in the medium-term future is the lack of a pure 64-bit version but 64-bit Windows will be able to run 32-bit apps for the forseeable future.

>>Actually, we were running out of "big ideas" that wouldn't jeopardize legacy behavior. Even if things had continued the way they were for VFP 9, I'm pretty sure the next version would have been incremental, maybe a 9.5, rather than a 10.

>>Another thought is that, and this is just my opinion, VFP was getting to the point, like Word or Excel, where the users were probably not using a large percentage of the functionality of the product. When you have three major releases in 4 years (7, 8, and 9) you have to think that the developer community is not keeping up with you since VFP projects tend to be 6 months or longer in duration.

>>>>>Seriously, VFP9 with all the great features and improvements is a great swan song. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say that they got it right and version 10 would have what features that are really needed. Ok, maybe I'm wrong about VFP10, but I've really been pleased with VFP9.
