I was just perusing my latest Visual Basic Magazine, (so naturally...everything needs to be taken with a large grain of salt....), and found the following:

"Many of the suite's more interesting features center around a new technology Microsoft alls the Common Language Runtime (CLR). All but one of the development tools in the Visual Studio suite--Visual FoxPro-- will compile to this common runtime. "

I hadn't been paying much attention to the .NET stuff, but I *did* think that VFP was going to compile to the CLR.

This issue also has their salary survey... and of course, they were surveying VB programmers. The question that had a choice for a second language showed VFP at 6% of respondants, ahead of Visual J++ (4%), PowerBuilder (4%), Delphi (4%), and Python (2%).

SQL came in at 59%, ASP at 51%, and HTML at 57%
