They do, probably, because VB appears to be bound to the OS a lot tighter. OTOH, they appear to be weaker up the scale ladder, like design patterns, database design, etc.

>"Under the hood" stuff. Unfortunately, I think that, in general, the VFP community could use more of an understanding of the relationship between their VFP applications and the OS. People would save themselves a lot of headaches in not trying to do the things they can't and not chasing down problems that actually had little or nothing to do with VFP. If I were so hazard a WAG here (which might get me crucified, BTW) I'd guess that the VB community probably understands this subject much better than the VFP community.
