>>>>My boss is very concern about the future of Visual Fox Pro. Is Microsoft planning to keep Visual Fox Pro or are they planning to do away with it? Can you point out any articles that would help me answer this question. Thanks.

>>>"The Visual FoxPro Strategy Backgrounder" -- released by MS sometime in November reaffirms MS commitment (just lack of savvy marketing) to Visual FoxPro. You can obtain this paper at the Microsoft website Visual FoxPro page and -- I think -- somewhere here in the UT. Also, version 6 (Tahoe) is now in beta test and version 7 is on the drawing books. These are facts.

>>The questions about the "uncertainties" about the future of VFP seems to be creeping up more and more here in the UT (almost daily)! As a user since verison 1.02, I too love using VFP. My feeling is that even if M$ decided to kill VFP in the near future (however unlikely), there will be a lot of people like me who will still use the tool for years to come. I bet there's still a lot of companies depending on an old and reliable 2.6 DOS apps build years ago that have been modified since.
>>The point is, no matter which way the wind blows, for most developers there will be ample time to learn another quality tool when that time comes, if you haven't done already.
>>Who knows, maybe M$ will create a great VFP 7.0 and decide to call it VB 10.0. Then I will use VB 10.0. It doesn't matter what M$ call it, we'll all know it to be VFP 7.0, a "Wolf in Sheep's clothing".

>>Just a though.
