OOPS,
Looking at Last year's position - well we are up on where we were a year
ago!
Note: Must go to opticians for new eye test <BG>

What they're showing in the "Delta in Position" is comparing it to what
it was a year earlier.
I'm wondering if the Visual Basic number is including VB6 plus the
VB.NET numbers?
If everyone wants the Visual Foxpro number to grow, you better get
blogging! <g>

VFP will probably be out of TOP 20 list next month.

I think when a dead horse is involved, the term is "flogging."

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.

Users don't get to make that call a lot of the time.
