Hi Roy

The reason VFP opted out of the Visual Studio package was that their
developemnt cycle of new version was hampered.
Microsoft continues releasing new versions. It's now at VFP 8, SP 1, with
quaranteed official MS product support till 2010. The first week in June
VFP 9 will be released in a free public beta. This version should then have
guaranteed MS support till the year 2012. I suppose VFP 10 is on the drawing
board.
Visual FoxPro is sold separately and it is as always packaged with all types
orf MSDN subscriptions.
Good thing you asked here instead of jumping to conclusions <s>.
