Yes, there are still questions about FPD and FPW, however, how many of these questions come from beginners in FoxPro? Who will start learning FoxPro today? Not many I guess. From those who know FoxPro today, in the near future, some of them will migrate to another tool and some of them will leave for another domain of for retreat. How many of them will be left in a couple of years? How many will be needed to maintain existing applications? My client have already confirmed to me that finding qualified resource today in VFP is very hard. What will it be in a couple of years?

I don't know for you, but I have problems with VFP since Vista came out. I have to reboot my PC at least once a day to correct the problem. There is a SP coming this summer, but I have to endure the problem until then. What will arrive when a new version of Windows come out after 2015? Will VFP still work? Given the history of VFP, I won't bet on it and it will be irresponsible for me to make my client make that bet.

>Hmmmm. Have you noticed that there are still many many questions here regarding FPD and FPW.

>Those continue to be useful more than 10 years since their last release. Why would VFP be different and shorter?
