>>At Dev-Con it was indicated that ADO.Net will not be supported in VFP 7. Now from my point of view this is a gaint step backwards for VFP. Ver 5 and 6 moved VFP closer to getting a check mark beside PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS. Now we get slapped back again. Are there ways of working around the problem, you bet. I can think of several ways. It's the idea that here we go again with the VFP can't do that.

VS.NET Beta 1 shipped with CCWs for ADO.NET. The 'incompatibility' simply means that for VS.NET Beta and later, you'll have to build your own CCW. In other words, natively, ADO.NET will not be COM friendly, but that doesn't mean that you can't use it.
