>In reality, I think the best marketing for VFP would be for MSFT to forcefeed information on VFP in small doses to dotnet developers at non-VFP conferences just as they forcefed dotnet to VFP developers in the past... Just getting the word out to developers and decision makers that VFP is alive, robust, and being actively used would be a tremendous benefit. I'm sure a percentage of dotnet developers are involved in some client/server data-centric applications as well as thin client apps.

Perhaps too late for that. MS have been saying loud and clear that .Net is THE SOLUTION. So why now would they try to convince them that they can use VFP too.

I hope that this could be done but the way marketing is done at MS it does'nt look like there's a place for VFP at all when they speak about the development tools available.
