Erik's name was most often thrown around to replace Bill as Chief Software Architect. When he didn't get the job, he pretty much disappeared, but still with the company, currently as Senior Vice President, Technical Strategy. http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/ericr/

Thanks for the link to the SLC article. Most of the non-white population is Latino, but there are some others. And they've opened some very good ethnic restaurants.


>I have seen Erik's name mentioned as a possible Microsoft CEO some day. That would be cool. But I agree with you it wouldn't matter for VFP. It was a long time ago that he managed the VFP 3 development team.

>Re Salt Lake City, BTW, the New York Times has a weekly feature called "36 Hours in (some city)." This week it was SLC. One thing that caught my eye was that whites now comprise about 75% of the population. Still high for a major city, of course, but not as high as it used to be.
