>>Yes, this was brought up often. I'm not going to rehash the discussions that took place as they are available here and on various other sites.

FWIW, a single developer in China has produced a 64-bit VFP in his spare time. That was one of the impossible tasks that prevented VFP being carried forward. Another was the requirement to lose the local cursor to migrate into NET. Also false. Impossible to run VFP on mobile devices? Nope, Lianja already cracked that one for iOS and Android. Not WP, though. Simply not worth it. Perhaps WP MVPs are now telling their developer community that they are responsible for low sales of WP as happened with VFP. Or maybe not. For the record, CB was not one of those saying this. Actually CB has not seen a need to tear down VFP or its community that I can remember. Just saying.

Personally I'm looking forward to Hank Fay's astonishing presentation at SWFox in which he shows how to run a VFP form with methods and events on iOS. Devalued VFP code suddenly is back in business and far more useful than "modern" options if you want to deploy on any platform, just as Dr Dave envisaged 20 years ago. What a laugh that will be, and what delicious proof of the old saying that what goes around comes around. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
