Would MS hand the code over so we could fix it.

>>>You're giving Milind a bad rap here. He very much understands the VFP community and wanted the best product possible.
>>
>>Hi Craig,
>>
>>Unfortunately, I totally disagree with you on this point.
>>Since Milind assumed VFP, NOTHING new happened.
>>
>>His letters don't bring anything important to the community.
>>His letters to the community are really very cold. IMHO, they should not be considered as "letters", but just "Short notes". We don't deserve this.
>>
>>We bought VFP9 as any other VFP product.
>>I'm a MS consumer, and I have the right to receive a product without bugs, that permits me to use the tool with all the possibilities announced.
>>
>>This is much bigger than just VFP.
>>Microsoft sold us a product that brought some problems. They are obviously fixable.
>>And as a client, I understand that MICROSOFT should do what is needed to fix this product. And we all know that it is not that difficult.
>>
>>WE ARE ABANDONED.
>>
>>Calvin Hsia stopped blogging about VFP.
>>YAG stopped answering to people.
>>
>>And MS still says that we have some years remaining of support !!!!
>>What support ?
>>
>>
>>Back to Milind:
>>He never showed himself to the common VFP users, the ones that are not MVPs.
>>Even knowing all these problems that SP2 brought, he NEVER wrote one single sentence telling people what will happen.
>>
>>
>>Now I don't care if it's Milind fault or his chief's, or Bill Gates'
>>All we need is ANSWERS !!!!
>>
>>
>>HEY MICROSOFT, do you hear us ???
>>
>>
>>In my opinion, this final release of SEDNA did not bring anything more than the other versions did.
>>
>>NET4COM should be the real reason for SEDNA to exist, allowing us to better communicate with the .NET framework. But since the 1st version, NET4COM did not bring anything new.
>>
>>
>>The other components are really good, but all kudos go to RIck Schummer, Doug Hennig and Craig Boyd, that gave big efforts to the enhancements that they were contracted to do.
>>
>>
>>I'm sorry, this message should have been directed directly to Microsoft, not you Craig. This has nothing to do with you. I`m really very frustrated.
>
>I agree wholeheartedly. Why hasen't somebody contacted the press about this? "MSFT abandons VFP, and the last thing they do is make it useless by knowingly adding bugs"?
