>Does anyone believe that the Foxpro Foundation Class libraries will be the new standard? It seems to have so many holes and inconsistencies in it, like not using views, looking up by Record Number!?!

I wouldn't recommend using them. I think they're most valuable as a learning tool for people who aren't very familiar with OOP.

>The childish part of me also takes offense to the fact that C++ programmers use the *Microsoft* Foundation Class, while we use *Foxpro* Foundation Class as though Microsoft is once again distancing itself from Fox.

I wouldn't sweat that. C++ is pretty much the lowest level language commonly in use these days. Don't forget that VFP (and pretty much all MS apps) is written in C++.
