I only had to get as far as seeing "JVP" in your post and I already knew what the stuff in the link would say.

VFP has never been in the VS shell...which is just fine with me...I *HATE* the VS development shell. Unfortunately, I think that we'll see VFP folded in...prolly not in 7.0, but maybe 8.0 or 9.0.

As for not using CLR, anything is speculation at this point. But, if it doesn't support it until, say, 8.0, is it really that big of deal???

OK..so VB is getting inheritance. How long did it take Fox developers to figure out inheritance. In fact, I'll bet the majority of Fox developers don't use inheritance correctly. Those of us that do, will be light years (ok..only 5) ahead of the VB guys in terms of understand how to really make use of it.
