John,

>Let me clarify this... I don't think Fox is dead. However, I don't think Fox has a very bright future either. In the context of traditional Fox development, it is the same as it ever was. For those types of apps, Fox is the right tool. And, it will always be the right tool.

I agree with the traditional apps comment.

>...And regardless of how you feel personally, the perception on the part of the decision makers in the corporate world, at least 99% of them, feel that way too.

Again, that's not the whole ball of wax for many of us -- maybe you want only the big corporate clients, and that's fine with me. I can make as much or more serving the next tiers down in size (who often are not as tuned in to following the politically-correct party line), and the larger clients who dare to look for themselves at actual results. Single, client-server, web, and distributed -- VFP makes sense in all of them in many cases.

I guess my main point is that regardless of CLR or corporate perceptions, VFP has a place in my toolkit for years to come, based on the rate of work that I see currently queueing up for me.

Just a little reality to balance out the "it's all over" comment...
