>Thank you for the letter, interesting reading in deed. I notice you write 'At the Advisor VFP DevCon conference, we will be announcing and showing some things we have planned for VFP after 9.0, so stay tuned.' As far as I can understand, you say loud and clear that VFP 9.0 will not be the last version of VFP?

For efforts beyond VFP 9.0, we have not decided what features, how it will be packaged, when and how it would be released, etc. The only thing being said is what is said exactly, and nothing more. I included a specfic and accurate current answer to this question in the August letter, see below:

Q: What will be added to VFP after version 9.0 is released?
A: It is too early to discuss this, we release VFP 9.0 later this year. At the Advisor VFP DevCon conference, we will be announcing and showing some things we have planned for VFP after 9.0, so stay tuned. The VFP team welcomes feedback on how we can improve our developer tools in the future based on what is disclosed for VFP 9.0 and Visual Studio 2005. Details of how we enhance Visual FoxPro, how it is packaged, what it is called, and when updates will be released probably will not be disclosed until the first half of 2005.
