Hi John,

No, I don't think scared is the right word, either. Terrified is more like it! All those marketing types are too busy pussyfooting around trying to drum up hype for inferior products (with commandments from their higher-ups), that they just can't recognize what they've got. I'm not saying VFP is perfect, far from it. But if they would just throw *SOME* of the resources they piss away on some of their other products towards VFP, they really could turn it into a dynamite product. Maybe that's what they're afraid of. What would the Justice Department do with them if they truly had the best product on the market for something and everybody wanted to use it... :)

>>M$ is scared of VFP. It's a product that they sell that COMPETES with EVERY OTHER product that they sell. They just don't quite know what to do with it for fear that it will reduce their sales in other markets.
