Hi Jim.
You may be right... in a very cynical way .... ;)

No seriously. It seems odd that MS would bring VFP this far to just drop it. They must have some kind of long range plans for VFP. I don't believe VFP is going away anytime soon. The VFP jobs may go away, but not VFP.

Anyways, I'm sure others with stronger minds than mine have thought about this before.
