>Probably already mentioned here, but I didn't see it. There's a new case study in the latest MSDN flash that refers to FoxPro:

Looks like more "writing on the wall" indicating what is important to MS and where MS is pushing VFP developers. A few of the more pointed quotes from the article:
"Solution Description : Moving AM4 from Microsoft® Visual FoxPro® to Microsoft Visual Studio® .NET yielded a fully web-enabled application that supports no-touch deployment."
'CDS Chief Architect Bill Sanders, said of the Microsoft .NET-connected solution: "We are amazed at how much a single developer can achieve in a short time using the .NET Framework. It's a truly incredible toolset."'
“ASP.NET allowed us to build a Web service much faster than using our existing tools--we were considering a web wrapper around the FoxPro application, probably using the SOAP ToolKit along with VB 6 COM DLLs.
That would have taken at least twice as long to build—and would have left us with our original code, based on a dated technology. Instead, using the .NET Framework, we were able to write reusable components, which will save us time in future versions.”
