VFP 3 was not part of VS. The only version of VFP that was part of VS was VFP 6.0

>VFP 3 did seem to get some attention from VB and C++ developers just by virtue of being in the VS suite. It was covered (some) in MSDN Magazine, included at Developer Days events, etc. By the same token, some of those same developers mistook the removal of VFP from VS as a sign that it was being dropped.

>All water long under the bridge now. I do think the people who argued against including VFP in .NET did so sincerely, believing it was the best course for the product.
