> I figure VFP was for a long time the main reason I had Windows on my machines. Still is.

For me too. It is the best rapid application development tool I have ever seen and I have been all over computing from imbedded micros through the biggest of the big iron and op syses from VS1, VM, MVS, Unix of evey flavor, OS/2, DOS (PC and IBM Mainfaim under VM) and am now going full throttle towards Linux.

I will use VFP as long as I can and work on creating a dev environment like it or better with various Open Source groups.

I will do .Net integrated with VFP and will use Iron Python (Yeah, going that way with Python and Dabo) but I am moving out of my Microsoft only days. That lasted for a decade with me but it ended this month.
