I've heard this before, but that would mean VFP would have to be released only when new versions of Windows are released, and I'm sure you don't want that. Microsoft wants to release new versions of Visual FoxPro more often than before (much less time than was between VFP6 and VFP7). Part of this ability comes from the fact that VFP is no longer bundled and scheduled with Visual Studio. As you know, shipping is a feature. :)
