Because Microsoft has hinted that, according to press releases I have read. After Win10 they only plan to release updates from time to time, not unlike Apple does. They consider Win10 to be as close to perfect as they think is possible.

>>I would suggest that you find out why your form seems to hang before you give up on VFP. Over all people have reported very few problems with VFP9 and Win7 or Win8. Personally I have used VFP9 and Win7, both 32-bit and 64-bit, with absolutely no problems whatsoever. You should also be aware that VFP9 has been tested successfully with the pre-release of Win10. And since Win10 may end up being the last version Microsoft will ever release, VFP9 may also end up working forever.

>>>I am a software developer here in Ireland for nearly 30 years and have been programming in VFP for as long as it existed, working my way up to VFP9. But now with the change over to Windows 7 and Windows 8, I am experiencing problems. My forms seem to hang, especially when filtering data in large tables. So I am considering updating the VFP platform and have read about Lianja.
