Ken Levy leaves VFP team
The main news feature is that Ken Levy leaves VFP team. After 4.5 years with VFP team Ken accepted an offer to work as product planner working on developer community efforts in a new group within the Windows Live division at Microsoft. VS Data program manager Milind Lelee, has been working on the Sedna project since 2005 and will be responsible for SP2 for VFP 9.0. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ken once again for all his hard work as a head of Visual FoxPro team for several years, and of course, not to forget all his previous work on VFP and his efforts for all VFP community. Let's wish Ken all the best and the great opportunities in his future endeavors. http://blogs.msdn.com/klevy/
