Just a few ideas.
http://www.levelextreme.com/VisualFoxPro/News/VFP8Release.aspRelease of VFP 8.0
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;en-us;obsoletedevtoolSupported until the year 2010
Microsoft has begun working on VFP 9
Try using google.com enter “wc.dll” and count the hits. This is a rough idea of how many people are using west-wind connection (VFP based) web applications.
At one time Rick had a listing of corporate users of west-wind connection - very interesting!
