*** The Loop ***  From: "Gary Shurman" <gshurman@yahoo.com> 
 OK. I had lunch with Ken Levy at DevEssentials in Kansas City last month. I 
 asked if they were working on version 10. His response was basically - 
 what new features would you like added? He felt that the product was 
 very complete now and unless we as a VFP developers could come up with 
 enough new ideas to make the product sell more, there would be no 10. 
 He also said that members of the VFP team at Microsoft have been 
 working with the .Net team to port the VFP functions to .Net. He 
 didn't say that VFP will become part of .Net, only that functions are 
 being ported.
 
 As far as VFP and Longhorn were concerned, he said that it would be 
 like going from DOS to Windows. Most older apps would run, but would 
 be ugly. Since Longhorn isn't expected until sometime in 2006 and it 
 will take some time after that before our clients buy PCs with 
 Longhorn installed, I'm sure Microsoft will have solutions for us with 
 either a new version of VFP or a .Net that will be easy to port our apps to.
