MS should Open Source VFP. They already have SQL Sever, MSDE, Access, ect... They don't need VFP anymore. I doubt it's a drop in the revenue bucket. VFP just doesn't fit that well, hence it dropped out of VS. It's proper place is by it self, where it is now, but out from under the constraints of MS's agenda.
Don't get me wrong I think MS has done a great job with VFP, but I think for it to really move forward and to put to bed once and for all the fate of FoxPro, Open Source is the answer.
