Cut this from a recent job post on Monster.com for a VFP/VB programmer in Miami:

"The application was written in Microsoft's Visual FoxPro V 6.0 and will require some modifications to make it operational. The client also would like the candidate to have Visual Basic experience to enable them to plan for the future migration from FoxPro to a more modern language. "

I'm unclear as to what they would gain by moving an app written to track data, to Visual Basic. Can anyone explain?
