>>Notice the carefully crafted sentence that avoids use of the phrase 'next version.'

>>I have no beef with Micrsoft on the future - or lack of it - pertaining to VFP.

>>It seems clear that something is coming after the release of VFP 9.0. At best, it is another full version later on down the road. At worst, it is some small stuff like utilities or service packs which, in turn, become the end of the line for VFP. One could even speculate wildly and suggest maybe they'll dump VFP out to a third party or out to an Open Source project. (I wouldn't think that. I'm just saying you can speculate all you want.)
>>
>>Maybe they have made final decisions already but can't or won't announce them yet (for sales reasons). Maybe they haven't made decisions yet.
>>
>>The bottom line for us developers out here in the world is... we'll all know soon. Let's stop trying to put the squeeze on Micrsoft and just give them their space to keep it coming and enhance VFP for as long as it's practical.
