>Now back to the original point. Peter wants to know the reasoning for stopping the development, making his future decisions. I think he has the right to in asking this. Whether YAG will or can answer that is a different issue. But at least be clear about it. There is no point in beating arround the bush. If you can say, say. If not say so too.

Isn't "they want the VFP development team working on .NET" an answer? Where is the beating around the bush?
