>>My concern is that my company has invested plenty of money on VFP training and what not, so if MS drops it what would become of my investments?

Here's a fun story...

During the recent Las Vegas Double-Impact Mega Event, Randy Brown, one of the Fox team leaders, was demonstrating MSMQ capabilities and went into his Outlook directories to show the messages being sent.

There in plain view was a folder for VFP7 and also one for VFP8. When someone asked what was inside, he grinned and said "Oops, that won't be there the next time I give this presentation.", as if he had mistakenly revealed "inside info".

Knowing Randy's sense of humor, that might have been all just for fun, or maybe not.
