>That's what makes the UniversalThread so important -- it is a database of problems and cures discovered by VFP users and donated free of charge (UT is essentially free compared to one hour of MS 'help') to the VFP community. Which is also why Microsoft supports it: it doesn't cost them anything and keeps tens of thousands of professional programmers from wandering to other tools.

The UT is great but let's not kid ourselves about VFP's demise without it. You have no basis of fact to back up that statement. Most VFP developers don't even know about, care about or USE the UT (unless the UT has 250,000 active members!)
