Hi John

>Coincidence

As I was going through the article another, but unrelated coincidence, I noticed.

Most alarming: By July 2004, it became clear that Google was working on a "desktop search" tool for finding information on a PC -- offering some of the features that Mr. Gates's WinFS program was supposed to bring to Longhorn. Google, previously focused exclusively on the Internet, was now stepping onto Microsoft's turf as the creator of software inside the PC.

Windows 2000 has an Indexing Service which I read had got a similar treatment like VFP, well it seems they already had a good product which was later scrapped, in XP and beyond. I remember reading a sad article about this fine searching tool given a backseat.

Thanks for all your work for VFP.
Regards
Bhavbhuti
