>What exactly are you recalling that you did? There was an immense amount of public discussion before the removal of VFP from Visual Studio and the decision not to make it .NET-compliant.

This was prior to that. At Devcon, in Miami (who knows what year), a bunch of us went to dinner at Don Shula's Steak House and discussed whether or not VFP should become vfp.net. The MS guys were all saying it didn't make sense, and fox would lose it's robust data engine, yada, yada, yada.

Several months later, several of the key VFP guys were invited to a summit in Redmond, and as soon as they came out, they started talking about how VFP should not/ could not play in the dot net sandbox. I posted some stuff indicating that MS was using these folks to spread the word, and the ultimate goal was to make sure vfp didn't become a part of dot net, which would mean it's ultimate demise.

Ken Levy freaked. He thought I had a mole in MS. Hahaha. I just explained that I had been a cop all my adult life, and it just smelled funny to me.
