>> What seems would be 1000 times better would be if VFP wasn't using it's own controls and forms anymore and used the .NET controls.

That would mean that VFP would have to be dependent on the .NET Framework and CLR to function for forms and such and that is not what we have planned for Europa (next version of VFP) since it is not what most VFP developers are requesting and there are significant technical issues involved based on the archicture of VFP.
