I'll re-read them tonight and get back to you.

>The question came up more than once at the last Devcon and other developer conferences where VFP 7 was previewed. The folks on the VFP team are on record with this one....

"On record" means what to you? Where is it recorded? Got a URL I can look at, or an "on the record" interview that was published, or public messages by someone in authority at Microsoft? Please cite your "on record" references.

>If there was ever a time to use another technology, VB 7 presents the best opportunity...

Perhaps. That remains to be seen.
