>>The market for foxpro has been static largely due to lack of MS marketing the product. Late developments indicate that VFP is getting some attention, not the same that VB gets but definitely seeing some progress.

>Having vfp part of VS6 makes a huge difference here. VFP is now getting more respect from some systems managers who had previously totally written it off. It doesn't mean they'll immediately start using it, but they've stopped bad-mouthing vfp, and stopped discouraging people that want to use it.

We should have a knowledge base article about the "Future of Visual FoxPro" so we can refer people to it. In "Visual FoxPro in General" we already have a rambling one about that other dead horse, "FoxPro VS. Access". I don't wish to write the article because I'm not very knowledgeable about the vfp labor market or events at MSFT. But if nothing better comes along, I could try to distill this thread and maybe some similar ones and put it there.
