No way -- the end of development came due to lack of revenue stream. MS is a business and like all businesses, they only pursue avenues that will make money. The VFP community was its own worst enemy in this -- how many developers are still on VFP6? How many bought upgrades for VFP7, VFP8, and VFP9? From what I have read -- most VFP applications are still on VFP6. I have developed tools for VFP9 and many developers have asked for backward compatibility with VFP6 -- why because they don't have VFP9 (let alone 7 or 8).

So just because there is another product out there that might compete with VFP will not perk MS's desire to rebuild the VFP team...
