That's funny. I got a call the other day about upgrading a program I wrote in 1996. It has been running for the past 11 years on windows 95 without problem. Now they are going to xp and want an upgrade. Haha

I would have been happy with just the Vista compatibility. The rest to me is frosting on the cake. I know my customers will eventually move to Vista. Knowing my applications will run on this operating system pleases me, and more importantly allows me to recommend building applications with tools and operating systems supported well into the next decade. Heck, I still support some DOS applications abandoned by developers a long time ago for one of my clients. Based on this model, I will be working with Fox (and other technologies) for a very long time. Heck, Sedna components are already making me money. I have used the Upsizing Wizard to show clients how fast I can take their VFP data to SQL Server. I have watched Craig Boyd use VFP to write, compile and execute .NET assemblies on-the-fly to leverage this huge framework. I am sure .NET interoperability will be important to me down the road even though today I have no use for it. Then there is VFPX (and other open source initiatives) outside of the roadmap. Seeing what other developers are doing in the community with respect to extending VFP is also helping me bring solutions to my clients. So to me the glass is full and the future quite bright.
