Hi Craig,

Perhaps I am still tired from a two day client meeting but I really am disappointed in Robert Green's response. Assuming you have it correct, why in the world it it OUR reponsibility to call up those promotion developers. That is really attacking the symptom NOT the disease. I understand that MS is a huge company run composed of a lot of free spitits but a simple "LOOK YOU DORKS.... VISUAL STUDIO INCLUDES VFP..... DON'T FORGET IT AGAIN!!! from someone with clout should solve the problem. I thought Robert Green had that clout. The message 'Hey if you don't like the promotions call the promoters yourself' tells me he does not.

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.
