Hi Tommy:

>Be strong!! Resist the temptation of the Dark Side of the Force!!!! (grin)

We won't mind to work with MS (as different to work for), if that help us to advance faster and further the Compiler / Runtime. But our first commitment is with the Visual FoxPro community, like most of you, we have a lot of VFP Code that we don't want to rewrite and so far until this moment, it looks like all what it will take to bring it to .NET will be just a recompile. The effort to rewrite that code, is orders of magnitude greater than to finish the Runtime, so the path is obvious for us.

And We would not worry to be bought by Google, put into Android and move to work into the GooglePlex and make the Compiler / Runtime OpenSource as in Google Style. That certainly would expand the reach of FoxPro and dispels any doubt about the future.

In any case we would win. "May The Force Be With Us", but not the Dark One ;-)

>>We expect to achieve that level 95% in the next 6 months. Sounds hard to believe that?, look at the remaining bits, those are the easier parts, the hard part (GUI, TableLayer, Data Access, SQL Passthrough, Classes, Visual Inheritance, OOP Model) are already done.
