When was the last time you tried to use the MSDN library? There is NO sales pitch in the library content. Not a single article is written by sales. And, every article I've looked in the last several years clearly states the version. Search there has greatly improved over that time too. There are lots of articles on past versions too. And it's true, even with VFP. Look at the attached image.

Oh, you want something other than VFP? See attached.

SQL Server? See attached.



>If (or if ever) I had to leave fox, I wouldn't take anything Microsoft, simply because there's no searchable source of information. And I have a comparison at hand - my coding is nowadays almost equally divided between fox, TSQL and JS. For fox related problems I come here (and pay my subscription so I can search). For the other two, the time spent searching is about 4:1. Why? Because no search engine can separate the wheat from chaff (i.e. usable information from sales pitch), and in case of M$ there's about nine times more of articles which list the features, are written by sales people, apply to an obsolete version (but don't say which version they relate to), apply to current version only (but don't say which one is that) etc etc. In the open source world there is about zero sales pitch, contributions by users are easy to find from the mother website, no need to chase them through obscure forums and article aggregators (where you find the search string mentioned in an abstract among 50 other unrelated articles) - clean and simple.
