Another VFP->Orcas sighting
Here's a link to yet another reference to the incorporation of VFP features into Orcas. We'll hear a lot more of the details once Microsoft goes public/official at the Professional Developers Conference in September.

I'm interested in what gets said, but I'm highly doubtful we'll hear anything except some revisions to ADO.NET and UI components.
The problem with .NET data is not the clumsyness of ADO.NET, which we'll see is a rather simple problem to fix, but that to do something as simple as storing and retrieving data in a multiuser environment requires the use of an external server-based data store.
That's stupid. I mean, nobody says it is stupid, because that is the standard way of doing things and nobody likes to be that critical of what is accepted as the status quo. But sooner or later you'll see technologies like Ruby on Rails including by default a file-based data store, and people will realize "Hey, what we've been doing is stupid."
