>but instead we are working on adding as many great features found in VFP into upcoming versions of Visual Studio

And when all this is done, who can tell the difference - which one is host and which one isn't.

>Microsoft's strategic direction is with our products based on the .NET platform with Visual Studio as the developer tool for .NET based applications.


Hmm... with my english <g>
1) MS strategic is to concentrate to .NET not to VFP - OR
2) If you want to do .NET look for Visual Studio, not VFP - OR
3) If you want to do basically .NET look for Visual studio but if not, you can do business with VFP too which is our strategic tool too but not with the .NET
