Alan:

Your sounding more like JVP every message you post here. Irrespective of what you are saying in your post, it simply amounts to FUD.

>VFP now appears to be nothing more than an afterthought ...

Well it may be to you but not to most people who really use it. As you don't really use it anymore, like you say, it has little consequence. But given that you "really don't care", you seem to like to keep coming back to the VFP forum and spreading FUD. Why not stick to the .Net forum and espouse the virtues of .Net and what you are doing with it there -- instead of hinting at VFP's impending doom here?

And I was taken aback by the fact that every other tool included in the MSDN Subscritpions was listed - except for VFP.
