See my reply in message #1426504. Talking to Robert Green, Ken, YAG, Ricardo Wenger, and others, I'm convinced I'm right about Fox developers getting what we asked for and Microsoft's plans to slowly let Fox die.

While we complained about not having marketing, Microsoft was doing exactly as planned.

Ken was not assigned the task of selling Fox to the world. He was assigned to MARKET Fox to the existing customer base.

>Want another round? We rode this roller coaster before (no pictures taken, though). The revenue was diminishing because Microsoft made no effort to sell it, or rather, did all they could to hide it from the buyers, and from their own sales force. And that wasn't just in the last two years, it was so for at least five, if not more.

>We had multiple stories here, over the years, about MS sales reps who didn't have Fox on their check list of things to talk about, or didn't even know that it was still made and sold, or that it was made by MS, or that it existed at all.

>When Ken was assigned the task of selling Fox to the world, who was his predecessor?
