I am in the US right now doing new work with VFP.
Yes, the company has declared that it is going to produce dotNET and Java versions for this product. This is done as much for marketing reasons as any other; the market automatically accepts that innovative work can be done in Java or dotNET. It's just easier that way.
Yes, I think dotNET shows a lot of promise. But it also has bugs and we are finding that like MS Access, easy things are easy but as soon as you move beyond the obvious you have a significant chore ahead. IMHO dotNET needs more work and code than VFP with a tool like West-Wind.
Whatever happens, the server logic that I figured out personally over the past ten years and Patented, is being done in VFP. My choice.
In view of strenuous wrestling with Joe Bob over these issues, I'm surprised you'd think I believe VFP is obsolete.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
