VS2008 has not been officially launched but yesterday at our VS user's group meeting I heard about Rosario. You never heard about Rosasio? It's the next version of VS. I mean the version after 2008 <g>

Here in Quebec we have some funny guys that used to be on TV. From time to time there was a sketch with a mentally challenged family. The name of one of the children was Rosario. The last name of those family members was Slomeau. In english that would translate to "Slow Mo."

To MS it should'nt be that big a deal that Rosario naming because it's mainly a provincial thing. Not only that but a french province. So they'll probably never hear about that.

>I remember (years ago... ya old guy here) a rising software company Fox Software that came out with exactly that.... a development environment that enabled programming types (you and I) to create what our customers actually wanted. Alot has changed over the years and as far as software goes.... so be it. But when you eliminate a prefectly good product just to assure you sell another just doesn't make any sense !

>Planned Obsolescents is nothing more then a greedy/Lazy man's plan. I've managed to extended my employment within the IT industry with Visual Foxpro and plan on keeping it going as best as I can. I hope the day will come that M$$$$ finally get's off the pot or actually $$###@@@@@.... then the very cleaver Linux community will port this language to one of it's mainstays and life will be good again.
