On 2 occasions over the years, MS asked me to send reports on some VFP stuff I was involved in- the most recent request was from RG. On both occasions I spent a fair bit of time compiling material. The end. No acknowledgement, no communication, nothing. A peer who did a simple railways app using Access(!) was seriously wooed by the local MS and got plenty of free press. Figure it out.

IMHO MS will continue to publish techo stuff in public and cautious good-news stories where Joe Public is unlikely to see them, like on the VFP site.

This isn't a "whinge", it is an observation that is backed with facts.
