>I am not whining if I say that MS is putting more money in VB then in VFP this is a simple fact. I have been programming in VFP for several years now, been to devcon once and love it's community and the language itself. I realise they are still putting a lot of effort into VFP.

MS will never put the same resources into VFP that they put into VB.

VFP middle tier *is* multi-threaded. And, from what the tests I've seen, VFP COM objects run faster than VB.
