I remember, a while ago, two famous FoxPro gurus were fighting on what Visual FoxPro was going to be able to do running (if ever possible) on Longhorn and Avalon (now WPF).  One of them claimed that the impact of these new technologies was going to be of such magnitude that would leave VFP totally out of the game. The second guru, needles to say, denied this. It was a colorful discussion, both got carried on to a point guru #1 proposed to bet money to show how serious he was.

As guru #2, but for different reasons, I thought #1 was wrong.

These pictures speak by themselves. In case you didn't notice, it's FoxPro 2.6 DOS and VFP 9 running on Windows VISTA (formerly Longhorn) PDC 2005 build. In addition, I was able to run a FoxPro DOS program (built back in 1993) flawlessly without touching a single line of code.

But this means nothing compared to what can be seen in Ken Levy’s Channel9 video, (I recommend the whole video but, for what is worth, the fun starts at minute 21). 

Now, is it me or one of these 2 persons proved to be soooo... wrong? I am also wondering what they may think now...
