>>Maybe, it should get a real new name, so that all IT managers can't draw the link to FoxPro and think this programming language is new. Since al lot of managers get real interested in new products, we might be able to get rid of the old 'VFP is dead' song, and finally get a bigger marketshare.

It's a marketing strategy. Just like one Korean Electronic brand that does not make money until they changed it from GoldStar to LG Collins. And you know what, because KIA company has its bad light before, no matter how good their products today, it does not make sense. Ford is Ford, Honda is Honda, and Kia is Kia. Foxpro was once put into a bad light, it's time to have a new name.
