Late 94 - Aug 95:
VFP beta-testers confused as hell. Everyone ashamed to admit can't get a grasp on OOP. Spontaneous joy from experience Fox developers that if the product is that incomprehensible, it must be GREAT!

Aug 95 - Release of VFP 3.0:
About 70% of Fox developers either run screaming to Access or VB while the rest are in denial (no, no FP 2.6 is still viable..don't use VFP!). A small % with a lot of time to kill start to actually figure it out.

VFP 3.0 release through 5.0 release:
Remaining Fox developers, decimated in numbers by lack of MS support, confusion, and other factors begin to get evangelical. Further depression reigns as MS is rumored to want to kill the product line.

5.0 Release to present:
A lot of Fox developers, with a general amnesty, come into VFP 5.0 from 2.6. VFP begins to pick up steam as the majority of VFP developers actually begin to understand the product.

Tahoe Release:
Fox community looks forward to ADO and MTS support becuase we might actually understand it this time around!!!

Comments anyone???? ;-D
