Dave Crozier is incorrect. The VFP is not spending anytime on significant efforts in working on anything beyond VFP 9.0, and nothing has been said or announced about a version after 9.0. Keep in mind that this is the same as was the case during the development of VFP 8.0, and VFP 7.0. It Prague DevCon, I commented to a small group of people about some utilities we were "considering" to release after VFP 9.0, and they are not part of the core VFP product but add-ons written as DLLs or VFP Xbase components. This utility we have a prototype for to call .NET framework classes from within VFP is only a prototype, not part of the VFP product but a separate utility, and may or may not be released depending on the scenarios and needs by customers based on feedback like in this thread. There won't be anything announced about what the VFP team works on post version 9.0 until after we launch VFP 9.0. I will post a message on ProFox and comment on Garrett's blog to clarify their misunderstandings due to David Crozier's incorrect quotes and summaries.
