Premature disgruntaltion! :) - the product works very well and is dependable. - it's the only significant product with a built-in rdbms and those indispensable cursors - it's going to be officially supported for another 8 years, as long as any other MS product - if it checks out on Vista, an OS not even delivered yet, that will extend VFP's life for as long as Vista is around - on top of users still running Win/2k and up, which covers a major percentage of the world's computers. - user's don't care what language a program was written in. I installed my product at a small business location a few weeks ago, and there was no mention of what language it was written in. For all they know or care about it could be written in Swahili. - as more developing countries come on-line, they will be all too happy to discover something like FoxPro. A really good business bet would be foreign lang support. - Solutions for almost anything can be added to the product using it's own language or c, so it's growth is still happening. - If it's frozen, then MS wouldn't redesign it! - we really have no idea what possibilities we'll be able to choose from a decade from now.
