>It defies common sense. Why, in a shop that has MS servers and MS desktops, filled with MS apps, would some low-on-the-pole "no" guy deny the installation of a project developed with a microsoft programming language that was logo compliant? There are suck-a_s "Net" programmers and suck-a_s "C++" programs too. But some somehow those are Mr NA's radar? Give me a break!

>It's insane. The world is, indeed, upside down. More evidence of the "crappy guy" syndrome that seems to have clogged the creative and fiscal prospects of "maturing" companies like Microsoft. Fortunately - life goes on - and somewhere - someone is applying common sense - and MS will be one of those "do you remember that company" small talk items like Lotus, Digital Reearch and Wang. "Where are they now" bit players in a stream of blips that were, for a few years, the glitter queens under the fading disco lights of history.

>But your response is good. Maybe Ken Levy can offer some additional embelishments that we "quote" to get around this issue.

As long as we're on the quote topic, should'nt it be official. I mean somewhere on MS's site.

I'd like to see something like "Visual Studio .Net and Visual FoxPro and ... are products supported equally by Microsoft.

A proof of that is that Visual FoxPro 9 was released some months ago. There is a beta service pack 1 available for it and Visual Studio 2005 will be released shortly. and so on ..."

That would be nice. Would'nt it?
