>There's still a lot of room for improvement, but there has been signicant improvement. I've yet to see a VS ad that doesn't include VFP and Tech Ed made more mention of VFP than any year in the past that I can recall. Of course, we tend to forget that VFP'ers don't really go to Tech Ed, so it's hard for MS to justify any VFP sessions there.

This is kinda like the chicken-egg argument. Should more VFPers go in order to get more VFP sessions, or, should MS offer more VFP sessions to get people to go.

Well, for my dollar, I have to decide what my investiment in going to a conference is. I'll tell you what... I am NOT going to go to Tech-Ed THIS YEAR... so they can add VFP sessions, next year!

That is an incredible waste of my training $$$ and when my boss ask for the ROI, I can't show him one.
