>(My apologies if this has been discussed already). Can somebody shed some light on just what it means that VFP will no longer be supported after 2015? In particular, when the product is no longer "supported", does it mean that Microsoft gives itself license for incompatibility? Is MS saying that beyond 2015, it might produce versions of Windows no longer compatible with existing VFP apps, so that apps created today with VFP8 or VFP9 would essentially no longer be usable?

My interpretation is that they wouldn't deal with bug reports after then. Support for foxbase and foxpro2x have already been stopped but there are foxbase, foxpro2x applications still running successfully all over the world. Same goes with the VFP versions whose support have been dropped.
Producing incompatible versions would mean those windows versions wouldn't support any win32 application, not just VFP.
