Sounds like a bunch of trolling FUD to me. MS is NOT conspiring against Foxpro and/or file based data - give me a break. It's not even on their radar!!
Most things VFP will probably work fine with Windows for the rest of our lives.... (maybe the Fox GUI interface will have issues but that's a minor thing. VFP data and code WILL continue to work fine despite the FUDSuckers here)
