Like I said, the decision was made a few weeks ago. Not years ago.

>Alan,
>Why didnt MS release this information sooner. Its pretty clear the the decision was made way back in 2005. I tried to get a straight answer from Ken Levy about this then and just got the MS shuffle. see thread #1019157 (exert below) its pretty clear that this decision was made long ago. Ken danced around my questions rather than risk any liablity.

>"What do you think the benefit is of us saying what we don't plan to do (in an official way)? How do you think that would impact the job market for VFP developers? I suggest to pause and consider what is best for VFP developers and the community. There is more at stake here than just how we enhance VFP technically. The VFP community, business, vendors, etc. are all impacted what is said and not said. If there is something that has not been disclosed or answered that would help you on some way, please let me know what that is and how I can assist you in your efforts."
