>If you look at the people that tried to actually make VFP a better product in a big way, then Calvin Hsia should be the pick. He at least tried to make the core vfp technology better. I'm talking about making VFP a better COM player and adding the features that would allow vfp to compete better against other products and make it a more modern technology. These things included working better with .NET, web technologies, and the beginnings of multi-threading. And a lot of these were against the wishes of his employer too so as not to compete with ,NET!!


I disagree... It was his job. If you use that logic, then the original development team in Perrysburg needs to be included also...
