The VFP team doesn't have the resources to do both. It is definately an either/or. IMO, VFP is in a fantastic position, much better than VB.

And what would be the problem learning C# or VB .Net. Those VFP developers that use SQL Server have learned another language, T-SQL. Nothing wrong with adding something else to the mix. In fact, it will be very useful.
