I want to express my point o view with the reasons for which I believe that the investment in Marketing does not give the same result or remnant that inverted in .Net

I believe that the resources of the Marketing must direct to increase functionalities to the tool, for example more power gives him to the development of applications Web or to come to some strategy with the creators of FoxWeb and one creates interface GUI, another thing for that the communities ask of fox is to put little safety in the contenders and his attached tables, the most amicable and dynamical GUI with the characteristic of autohide of the window of properties, commands, session of information, etc, the possibility that GO of fox joins with GO of SQLServer2005, That to the recarrier him of the possibility of spreading more when one to create interface to interact with the reportingservices of sql and that the reports of fox are interactive with the final client, who exists one link canal to sql with the facility of an ODBC but that designed to be employed with fox directly at the one that the advantage should be exploit to the maximum to SQLServer and to the local engine, which a ffc implements to have the possibility of handling the impersonalización of connections with the servant and many other things for that the community has asked and that will allow to develop professional systems and to give him to fox a new world of possibilities and one versón of Fox to run in 64bits.

Then I believe that on having put more Fox's functionality and with a bit of Marketing it would have a better reception and the sales would meet reflected in very good quantities and not only to extend it for the rest of technologies since the companies that have your systems in fox and they want to develop some interface for the Internet they must invert the double of money that in .net with the purchase of licenses and we do not say to have a safety in your DBs.

Many developers retired from Fox in the version 6 and nowadays they are investigating on VFP9, I believe that MS should recover this market, programmers of Fox6 who passed to Delphi, Powerbuilder, etc, I believe that he is valuable to recover this market.

I believe that there are many points more than they should run so much to promote Fox and to increase your sales, they can be launches in time, advertising in the main page of Microsoft putting a banner to Fox's site,which of the same form as in Fox's conferences there speaks to himself of .Net that in the conferences of .Net speaks itself of Fox.

In my times free I wonder:

The one who was first? The egg or the fox?
