VFP3 was not perfect eighter when it came up from fpw. Things are evolving.
What ever xbase variant (or NET compiler) manage to preserve that huge xbase legacy systems will become eventually player. I wish legacy stays with VFP, because is ultimately the best, but if VFP app legacy get jeopardised by some future windows version or silent upgrade, then people will look to other alternatives more seriosely. They do it now as we speak.

Guineau and Etec. compilers are just begining ;)
