>I'm convince that if Visual FoxPro 8 would be called VFP .NET we wouldn't be having this conversation....

Luc;

Maybe yes and maybe no. From 1994 to the present it has been stated "with great authority", that fox pro is dead! No support. Finished. Then we saw VFP 3, 5, and 6. 5 and 6 were a part of Visual Studio (97 and 6.0). No matter that VFP was a part of Visual Studio. Decision makers still would not use VFP.

VFP was removed from Visual Studio 7.0 at the request of developers who use it. VFP 7 is a stable mature product unlike Visual Studio 7.0 which should be version 1.0.

If you fight city hall you loose. You might be right but the boss is the boss.
