>>How does anyone consider that in any way a positive article? Try to put yourself in the place of the average reader who has little knowledge or interest in FoxPro one way or the other. They will read about six paragraphs and turn the page. "Another one bites the dust" is what they will think, with varying degrees of regret.

I don't get it. Do you mean that article should say that despite all rumors MS will actually continue Fox development? The article tells the facts and readers are supposed to be intelligent enough to make own opinion. It gives coverage to Masfoxpro effort and shows awkward MS response. What else should be expected?
