In regards to him "blaming Microsoft for his own inabilities..." I think you're reading more into the post than was actually there and are speaking about his "inabilities" without the evidence to back it up (in this thread, at least).

>He's blaming Microsoft for his own inabilities to follow what was happening with VFP. Any computer language/product can be discontinued. Delphi was once the latest and greatest. PowerBuilder was once the latest and greatest. You hardly hear about either of them now. Java? Oracle says they'll keep it, but Sun is losing $100 million per month. Larry, "I am God" Ellison could decide at anytime that Java costs too much to maintain and kill it. There have been thousands of Open Source projects come and go. Nothing to say it won't happen to PHP, Pytthon, Ruby and others.

>Years ago one of the biggest names in the Fox world swore off Microsoft and publicly stated he was moving everything to Open Source. Guess what he's doing today... Fox ... because he couldn't make enough money with Open Source development.

>>Where did you get that impression? He's off Windows, therefore he did take responsibility for his own career.
