>This is totally true and I have called presenters and trainers on this more than once. But if someone like us isn't in the audiance what I said above is the truth and, guaranteed, what happens.

And ... when you do it and 800 people turn around and look at you like you're nuts because you are the only one in the audience who believes/knows it and they've been to a dozen other seminars where it is never brought up and they never see it used for demos and all the info they get from MS pushes other tools and on and on and on ...

You might as well be making a plug for using Visual FORTRAN for the Amiga ....

The "outside in" approach may be OK and help a little, but there needs to be an "inside out" overhaul with MS taking the LEAD to get VFP equal footing, demo presence, etc. at these things.

As far as marketing budget constraints ... they would be better served to spend EVERY penny of the VFP budget on educating MS instructors, support, sales, consultants, presenters, etc. and getting formal programs in place to integrate VFP into these seminars, conventions, etc. than they would to place Ads anywhere.
