I think Russell refers to http://weblogs.foxite.com/andykramek/archive/2007/05/19/3815.aspx

>I must have missed the blog entry to which you refer. I know he said part of the problem VFP was not economically viable for MS was that VFP developers did not actually buy new versions in sufficient numbers. But even if he said something you don't agree with, how does that negate sharing knowledge and time with Fox developers over the years? Obviously you feel very strongly about whatever comment he made, and you are certainly entitled to be offended by it if you like and perhaps you could point me to a specific blog entry that would cause me to feel as you do.

I'd call that generosity of spirit. I am a little surprised to see him cast in the roll of 'enemy of the VFP community' (to which he has contributed a great deal)

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
