>Very well stated. I believe that you are correct in concluding that "FoxPro is here to stay," despite what some of the nay-sayers have said. Ever since MSFT first acquired the Fox, they've issued a number of statements regarding the future of FoxPro, its importance to MSFT, etc. As far as I can tell, they've stood by everything they've said.

>Admittedly, the stated direction for VFP has been a little vague at times, but the evolution of the product has been impressive. The fact that it is part of the Studio is most encouraging. Yes, VFP gets ignored a lot, but consider that there are few Microsofties (outside of the Fox team itself) who know much at all about VFP. That is a shame, to be sure. The MSFT folks SHOULD get to know it better, because (as I've previously stated in this forum) VFP could be marketed as a "Powerbuilder killer" if they put their corporate minds to it.

The more I read, the more I become convinced that VFP should be marketed having M$ staff as the target group first, then to the rest of the world.
