What took this company SO LONG to get rid of him after SO MANY management-provoked disasters? It has been one mistake after another. The list is endless: worthless acquisitions, the wanting to be at everything, the way they handled the Surface deployment (waiting and waiting months... then there was no supply of the Pro, which is the one that mattered... they ended up having to write-up a $1 billion out of the books!), Xune and on the very top of the list: what they did to us VFP-developers. How many times must have Calvin Hsia, Ken Levy and YAG rooted for VFP to deaf ears! Look at kinect, WONDERFUL idea but try to buy a gadget with it. In any event, I hope they find their way but I think it took them too long to make this decision. Somehow they still have some of the very best talent at their disposal but talent and management are two different things. When people here say their business side is doing great I ask myself, HOW MUCH of that business is still not indirectly related to VFP. How many millions of those desktops and servers are not there mainly supporting VFP apps that would otherwise be Linux, Droids and Macs?
