>"It is not the first time they do such an act and I don't think would be the last", Wasn't that clear enough. Do you remember VFP, Silverlight? Now Codeplex. Somewhere in between gotdot.net. If you are still have faith in MS it is your choice.

Cetin,

Anything changes. What's wrong with it?

I'm not happy with any of those decisions, but I guess a lot of people will be not happy with decisions I made too.

M$ will not spend a dime for your benefit, only for it's own profit. CodePlex simply does not create enough revenue and this is the only truth. If I was M$ would I support something like VFPX, a community that keeps something alive I don't get a revenue from, aside the OS?
