>>VFP9 is a nice little niche market product...
>>Visual Studio 2005 is a better all around product in nearly every aspect....

>Hmm, except some difficulties with WEB and PDAs can you show me WHERE?
WEB and PDA are 2 big areas...
VS2005 debugger has modify and continue capability... VFP debugger doesnt.
How could one implement something like "Windows CardSpace" in VFP?

>VFP is good for building LAN/WAN apps on slow old machines...

.NET 2.0 and VS2005 work great on fast new computers :)
For a P2-200 I'd use VFP 6 :)

>>and the WEb Connection Add on is pretty good for data centric web sites that do not >>require any recursive code...

>Can you point me some "recursive" code that couldn't be made with VFP?
VFP has a limited depth to recursion performed.
VS2005 doesnt. You can make "big league"/"state of the art" AI routines in VS2005 ... you really can't in VFP.

Wanna have a compiler building contest? I'll use VS2005... you use VFP :)


>>other than that its bye bye Foxpro
>Are you sure that after 2015 there will be .NET also?
IF Visual Studio product line disappears THEN MS provides a clear migration path for its millions of Visual Studio developers.
