I don't think so!

First off ASP\VBScript is a separate solution that's totally
agnostic to the backend used. You can use VFP, VB, C++ or
whatever tool can create COM objects.

MTS can use VFP components fine, although there are admittedly
some scalability problems (those apply to ASP as well) in the
currently shipping version. These are in the process of being
addressed as we speak and should be available with the next
release (Service Pack whatever)...

Even without these in place, you can build VFP Web apps just
fine using tools that don't come from MS. This site here
is a good example, and I personally have built several
large scale Web sites using VFP backends that were close
to 750,000 daily VFP backend hits.

Not only is VFP capable of building Web apps, it's uniquely
suited to it, because of its flexible language and blazing
data access. The Web VFP apps I built outperformed SQL and
Unix Oracle solutions 3 to one on hardware that cost a
10th of what the big iron cost.
