"...Fox in Microsoft's Tool-Suite Coop
By Darryl K. Taft
August 26, 2005 ..."

"...Despite putting FoxPro features in the key Orcas language, Microsoft has said it will be releasing another version of FoxPro, FoxPro 9..."

Wow looks like that marketing campaign done for the release of VFP 9 was a HUGE success <vbg>

Or then again perhaps it was a typo and the author wanted to write 10. If it's the case then perhaps that author knows things that we don't.

Or perhaps the marketing campaign has'nt started yet.

Hmm to do one (marketing campaign) or not to do one (marketing campaing) that is (the everlasting) question.

But anyways I'm surprised that they mentioned FoxPro and Visual FoxPro. Cause this could place them in a delicate situation. If they took DATA things from the Fox to put it in .Net then it must mean that the Fox is not so bad at handling data. If the Fox is not so bad then why MS hardly ever say anything good about the Fox (Marketing).

Oh well I'm getting too excited again. Darn where did I put those pills <g>
