Hello, Francois,
I'm terribly sorry about this confusion, but I was the one who said that, stating that this was MY vision about the place of VFP in the whole .Net strategy. I'm NOT a moderator from Microsoft. I'm just an independent developer struggling with more or less the same problems than you.
Beside that, I strongly recommned you to research Rick Strahl's site at www.west-wind.com for the best white papers I know about on the topic, and also, if you can, subscribe to CoDe magazine, the only publication with lots of articles about .Net and a strong presence of VFP at the same time. You can take a look at it as www.code-magazine.com
Once again, I'm sorry about the newsgroup misunderstanding. As far as I've being informed by Microsoft employees, the groups shouldn't have being there in the first time, and it was just a mistake from someone who took an old index from around VS.Net beta 1, when VFP was still included.
