>>>>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. But it seems they were always more interested in taking away resources than adding them.

Well wouldn't that mean that we were being played by more than just M$?
We've heard that some of our esteemed wanted VFP killed earlier so they could capitalize on the .NET fervour back when. Others just seem to have either believed what was told to them or made it up.

To say that I'm disappointed at the whole she-bang is an understatement.
