The fact that MS even put the question as to whether we want VFP included in the .net platform raises a hundred flags. Obviousely, they are having second thoughts about the products future viability in the IT community. Whether you take it out or keep it in makes no difference. Perception will ultimately decide its fate. Foxpro will live, but always as a tertiary language without much respect.
