Sorry to burst your bubble in this case. But could it just be possible that to the vast majority this is a non-issue.

First, I forget who made the quote, but the assumption that of 10s of thousands of VFP programmers, maybe 10% participate in these types of forums.

Second, of that 10%, maybe 10% of that feel the same as you do. The majority have moved on, or are in the process, and don't feel the need to get all uptight.

>>>The MasFoxPro campaign has a grand total of 35 signatories from North America - 26 from the U.S.A and a measly 9 from Canada!!! Mexico has 81 signers, so this doesn't apply to them.

>>>Even if you think it is useless, is 60 seconds of your valuable time asking too much?

>>>Are you so sure that Microsoft cannot be swayed that it isn't worth 60 seconds of your time to sign a simple petition?
>>>Are you so confident that Microsoft made the correct "business decision" regarding FoxPro development that it isn't worth 60 seconds of your time to suggest otherwise.
>>>Are you afraid that Microsoft may not appreciate seeing your name on such a petition?

>>>If any of the above applies simply put it aside and spend 60 seconds to add your name to the petition. You can be sure that absolutely nothing will change if you sit there and do nothing!
>>>How can it hurt if something does happen????? Microsoft could even decide to bring VFP under the .NET umbrella.

>>>We've heard that the code base is too old (20+ years) and spaghetti-like to be of any practical use, yet it was good enough to bring us VFP.
>>>We've heard that Microsoft simply wasn't profiting enough with VFP. A staff count of less than 10 is an inconsequential drop-in-the-bucket for Microsoft. They probably throw out more coffee every day than the VFP Team costs them.
