Yeah, Jeff was voluble about his belief that MS intended to gut VFP. At first I held out hope because the VFP3 beta program seemed robust, energetic and enthusiastic. But once we saw the VFP3 "marketing" it did seem clear. Sigler even told us that attention was turned firmly away from VFP. That was 1995-1996. Then prophets appeared "predicting" the end of VFP and claiming a monopoly on the idea. It only took 12 years for their prediction to come true! Ah, those were the days. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
