>Yes, I also think VFP deserves better from MS, but why would MS start now?
This, I think, is the heart of the differences we've seen here on the UT in the last few days.
From my POV I have seen some 16+ years of this product moving forward technically. I cannot comment on what I cannot comment on but let me assure you that IMNSHO VFP's future will continue. Let's just say that I'm optimistic.
>Because so call VB7, is in such limbo?
Hmm.. Dunno.. If MSFT screws up with .NET I'd think that there's a better than average chance we'll see some VB programmers taking a second look at VFP, even though I think the mindset is difficult to overcome.

>>Why? Well, various reasons - one of which is that I think that with VFP7 (and soon VFP8) that FoxPro will finally (Yes, I said that ><g>) start to get the marketing attention it deserves.
