>Yes, I did write some comments on the subject recently. I also just read Mary Jo's recent blog on Pablo's petition. It is sad to see Microsoft continue to put a spin on things. Calvin and I looked at doing .NET and 64-bit. These things were certainly possible if Microsoft wanted to devote more resources to the team.

Yes, I have read your comments(good points btw) and I left some comments in the talkback of Mary Jo's blog(under MISsupport).

I even took some of the "negative" arguments found here and elsewhere and put my "spin" on it on my blog. But I think the issue is bigger that learning a new language. That's what my latest post is about: Mom and Pop who invested in Visual FoxPro. Maybe because I work for a non-profit so long that I'm closer to the smaller shops.

I even talk about some issues you mentioned here in your post :D
