Hiya Craig ----

Hmmm....that's a good point.

Again, any omission of VFP in VS marketing slams VFP's credibility. Also, arguably, VFP's "marekt presence" requires *more* marketing than the other tools as I have seen that fewer people seem to understand what VFP is and what it is capable of than any other VS tool.

Tell them that you're not going to hang up the mobile (or whatever it happens to be) because it is broken. If they are promoting developer tools and they don't include VFP...their promotion is broken. If you are at a presentation from a Microsoft person and they don't mention VFP with VB, VJ++, etc, politely ask them where VFP is at. Basically embarass them...but in a polite way.
