You know Bill you are right. Thing is though fox related irritation at the lack of M$ marketing is old news. Perhaps I'm just jilted to see it happen again & again, add in a good dose of "I dont care anymore" and you end up with my someone negative attitude here. I would think that if anyone comes up with a grand idea of how the fox community could pressure M$ to remember us, I would support it. But honestly, I think our only recourse is to go out and promote the product ourselves. Write our own whitepapers & articles and promote the jobs we complete successfully and hope that it has a snowball effect and changes the market enough for M$ to notice. Not that I think that will really work either, but that's I like to believe :)
