Ken Levy announced on his blog yesterday that he is leaving the Fox team. I wish Ken good luck in his new job. Earlier this week I talked to Ken about his move and he's excited about it. Many of his responsibilities are being absorbed by other team members. SP2 is in the works and planned for about a year from now. Sedna will allow VFP to work with many new Windows Vista technologies. Your Fox investments will continue to work for many years to come.

But, are you surprised by Ken's announcement? I can say that I'm not. Last year I blogged here and here about Sedna being the end of the road for VFP. I also blogged here that Fox would live on, not as we know it, but a new .Net technology. In September, we found out that technology is LINQ. Despite Mary Jo Foley's column that Fox has a bright future, I see Ken's departure as more evidence that the end is coming. If Ken's departure isn't a wake up call to learn something new, it should be.
