>>Never say that !!! Foxpro is most certainly not dead - there is a lot of it out there still, a lot of maintenance work here in the UK - also a lot of migration projects springing up - the one I'm currently working on has been active for two years plus - which I wouldn't have been assigned without my knowledge of Fox and .NET. I remember people saying COBOL is dead...

>Becuase you have a handful of people supporting legacy systems in VFP, it doesn't mean its viable. VFP is dead as a technology for developing modern solutions; to think otherwise is foolhardy.

As far as the magazine is concerned, it doesn't matter whether or not VFP is viable or not. The magazine is a part of this forum. If the majority of members are VFP developers, I think it would make the most business sense to support that membership and add in new technologies. If a small number of members (in relation) are .net developers, why would the magazine focus exclusively on supporting the minority and not the majority?
