George,
Actually none of this is in current product plans. VFP7 focuses mostly on IDE improvements. Maybe VFP8 or so. These things seem to fit in with MS plans of thin-client and Terminal Server deployment. Current VFP screens cannot be transmitted by the T/S engine as efficient as other languages.

However, from what I've heard, I think the possibility is good that we may get this. I would caution anyone to remember that this is purely a SWAG on my part. I could be very wrong about this (which wouldn't be the first, or last, time< g >).
