I think by the end of 2008 to 2009 will put it in the final throes, so to speak. Any corporate jobs will be small short-time maintenance gigs. Any third-party developer of off-the-shelf apps will probably have changed tool sets by then. And any developers who focus on the small bus. apps will have to face telling their clients that if VFP is used to create the app, finding other programmers to support the app will be difficult.
