Costas-

>1) Why doesn't VFP support .NET?

To add to the other's replies...another benefit to being independent is that VS.NET (which is really the question) is that we are not tied to VS.NET release schedule. Remember, VS.NET is still a beta, it's not a release product.

>2) Will VFP7.xxx support .NET and if not, why not?

Probably not, since (per recent conversation here) service packs would not be the place to implement such a major new version as would be required.

>3) Will VFP8 support .NET and if not why not?

I _hope_ not. I like VS.NET. A lot. But I would not want VFP to be rewritten for the platform.


>I think know why VFP7 does not support .NET (did not want to delay the product).

There's really more to it than that as the others point out.
