Actually I really am optimistic that if we continue to provide professional solutions in VFP, many people will 'see the light'. It will be a slow process, but I think it will eventually happen. Also, just by including VFP in both releases of Visual Studio is proof to me that Microsoft is aware of how many of us are out here putting it to use everyday.
