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.
