Reading responses to Mr.Johnson's question I have a sense of us giving some pressure on him asking "where did you hear that", "provide us a name", "point to a document". We are not a besieged fortress after all.
Probably a recent information from Ken Levy would be a sufficient proof: version 8 will be supported until 2010, the next VFP version is being developed. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
