Do you think having someone post a hello message is going to change the perception of VFP like this? We are having some of the VFP team members work on enhancing data-centric programming for future .NET/VS versions while also having some VS/.NET team members learn more about VFP and spend more time on enhancing the VFP product. The folks who will be spending more time with VFP have asked to do so and are motivated about it. Milind has virtually no experience with VFP but lots of experience with data-centric tools and VS. His efforts on VFP are only part-time, not full time, and this was simply an introduction so when folks see posts from him or his name mentioned in the future that there is a point of reference to his efforts at Microsoft. Hope this clarifies.
