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.>>
