Great.. more consiracy theories.

The full story is that when Randy Brown retired, his job as Program Manager need to be filled. YAG was running the "Visual Studio Data Tools Team", which is where VFP was located. The VFP team had been working with the .Net members of the team to help them learn how VFP works and to take some VFP functionality and put it in .Net. Since Milind was a PM on the .Net side, he was tasked with being PM on the VFP team in addition to his .Net duties. He also took over some of Ken's responsibilities, but not all of them. Milind was never Prodcut Manager, which is what Ken's job was. IMO, he did a great job. He attended Southwest Fox one year (2006?).
