Sedna is not at the end of galaxy

As I blogged here, recently announched VFP roadmap make many peoples think that Sedna is the end of VFP road. Ken Levy [MS], try to correct this misunderstanding at UT forum.

while we do not have specific plans for Visual FoxPro beyond Sedna, the roadmap does not close the door to Microsoft options to enhance Visual FoxPro beyond that.

It is obvious that how we plan to enhance Visual FoxPro over the next few years is not traditional from the past new version updates. We have not decided on every little specific thing, we are still in early planning phase but we have a solid outline of our goals, guidelines, limitations, resources, and timelines. All of the packaging and naming details for Sedna will be determined closer to the time it is released in 2007, so there is some confusion on packaging since a lot of guessing and assumptions are being made at this time. The goal of the transparency efforts is to let people know what were are thinking, planning, doing, etc. on a regular basis going forward.

We will continue to disclose more on a monthly basis. There are times when someone can re-phrase things in a negative way "like no new version" which has to be clarified. I believe Markus fully understands what our goals and objectives are for Sedna, I have talked to him at length about our plans recently. And while we are being transparent with our Visual FoxPro plans, we have to be cautious and sensitive to the Visual FoxPro job market, vendors, businesses, etc. which depend on Visual FoxPro long term.
