>>If you are building single/2-tier apps, I suppose VFP has an advantage. Unless you have been asleep for the past 2 years, it is quite evident that MS does not care about single/2-tier apps. In fact, if MS could control things, these type of apps would go the way of 16-bit windows...

Those single and /2-tier apps are my bread and butter. All my customers are on the same network. There will always be lots of this kind of work out there.
