>So I know servicing has ceased for Foxpro and as well selling of licensing and all that. What I would like to know is realistically how long should I expect to be able to hold out with my applications working on workstations? i.e. they work on Windows 10. Eventually hardware will change and the OS will change to not allow a VFP application to run on a windows workstation. I know this is a guess, but as an educated guess, what would you all say? How many years would we have left before we are forced out of it?

VFP lives in an environment (Windows SW & HW).
Since there is no evolution (a VFP Team that change it)
is the environment that must remain compatible.

The question is:
how many applications will become extinct when VFP will be forced
to become extinct because the environment will become incompatible?

As long as the economy turns around these applications it is relevant,
Microsoft will keep the environment compatible.
