I guarantee you, managed VFP code will look so similar to managed VB code, that you could write a code converter with STRTRAN(). It's not worth the VFP team's efforts, IMO.

This makes sense but answer this and I'm seriously asking. Why doesn't this same logic apply to Fortran, Eiffel,Cobol, etc. Why don't they just tell their users to use VB instead of taking all the time and trouble to write for the CLR?
