>Both announcements lack a convincing explanation or logical reason why Microsoft decided not to release a new version of Visual FoxPro.
>
>This announcement has been a major blow to the FoxPro community. This is especially true for the medium and small application developers (the vast majority of developers in Visual FoxPro), that have many years of Visual FoxPro code. It is not practical or cost effective to attempt to move these applications to Microsoft's recommended development environment (.NET). The community must rethink its future development platform.

>This campaign was created as an idea that originated in the Spanish FoxPro Microsoft newsgroups. Mas stands for more in Spanish. PortalFox and the MVPs that manage PortalFox, as a part of the community, decided to offer a way (hosting and support) to let the community to express itself and promote this campaign.
