>Yeah, but the big question is if this merger is going to include VFP. So far its tools remain entirely different from the rest of Visual Studio - and IMO, in most cases better - and the VFP IDE remains very different from the rest of the tools.
How long did it take for Office to become integrated? Microsoft is still talking about more shared components in Office 8.0. It will take some time, but the components will merge. As for how long VFP will be there, I'd rather discuss that topic off line....I don't want to start any more of those VFP is dead threads. I'll track you down next week at DevCon.
