But, this is important because it shows that the new Fox Marketing team is pushing to get the product recognized and that they're now successfully placing the Fox name in front of a bunch of developers who are using Visual C++ and Visual BASIC. Just as we are being told to work with the other Visual tools to develop more powerful solutions, the other Visual developers are having Visual FoxPro put right directly in front of them, maybe for the very first time.

I got my developer days mailing the other day, and VFP is prominently featured. Thanks for the update on the DevWire stuff. Also, FYI....the update to Developer Studio is currently in beta (you may have heard reference to its code name of Boston). There is a new bug tracking feature that is written in VFP....so it's even being used internally by MSFT.
