Dead on.

Nice one, Dave. Say hi to the folks at the Summit for me.

>>MVP on summit keeps silence about it.

>Huh? We are in the middle of a busy conference and just got the news last night. I'm sure you will hear from MVPs here and on blogs soon about their viewpoint, and Alan Griver from Microsoft will be commenting and answering questions here also. I blogged last night about the news and my thoughts about it, but that's because I didn't go to dinner and other summit events, so I had time. http://talkingfox.blogspot.com/2007/03/major-vfp-news-from-redmond-good-and.html.

>Or do you mean MVPs have kept silent about it when talking with Microsoft representatives here at the Summit? If so, you don't know of the many discussions with Microsoft both at this and previous MVP Summits and at other times and places. I made the case for continued development of VFP to the head of the developer division at the Summit 1.5 years ago and others have made their opinions plain to an assortment of Microsoft decision-makers over the years.

>Consider the fact that VFP9 was ever produced and that the Sedna/SP2 project was ever approved for development. In my opinion, those events were miraculous, considering the commitment of Microsoft executives to focus on the .NET path (I'm referring to higher-up decision-makers, not the VFP team, when I talk about Microsoft executives). The tiny VFP team in a corner of Building 41 (tiny compared to the product teams of other products) has managed to keep developing VFP for years beyond what was expected or desired by the higher-ups.

>>Does it mean, they are agree?
>All MVPs don't agree on anything. :-)

>>I don't care , what version is, VFP10 or what
>>The problem not in the version,
>>the problem is in way MS looks on VFP future.

>Correct.

>>Shall we also keep silence? Or may be this is the time for
>>new letter to MS, like Mishael Asherman did few years ago.

>I frankly don't think that would make any difference at all. But that's just my opinion, based on what I have observed about Microsoft decision-making, and also knowing the important influence that Calvin, Aleksey and Robert are having in development of the VB.NET implementation of LINQ.
