The insane thing is that it is us (VFP programmers) that they are preaching this so-called positioning strategy to, not the people that hire us.

Thats Microsoft. Preaching to the choir. I agree. VFP needs much better COM support. Otherwise whats the point? Microsoft doesn't pay me to market VFP and I get tired and frustrated tyring to defend it to my client, because it always seems to fall on deaf ears. Oh well, I can always flip burgers if I have to!
