>In the latest and greatest Windows Sources magazine is an article on Microsoft's Visual Studio 97. Hey, they had the guts to print a section on Visual FoxPro 5.0! However, if you go and read that section, I believe that you'll find inaccuracies and in general that the reviewer is just plain missing the point of VFP.

The summary is bad, I agree. Some of the actual article, though painful is true. Yeah the guy misses the whole point of VFP but does paint a more accurate picture of VFP as MS's 'Red Headed Step Child' of the MS Product line.
