I have a question about this. Do you have any thoughts or guesses about how Microsoft will kill VFP? The option of providing VFP developers a painless way to migrate to VB seems to be diminishing as the rest of Visual Studio moves away from VFP. I can't think of examples in the past of MS sunsetting one of their products. Might they announce some time next year that version 7 will be the last?
