Howdy Mr. Green!

Cindy Winegarden had posted an exchange concerning C# from the profox mailing list, which I am also a member of. You did not respond to the statement that there was no mention of VFP in the .net direction that MS is moving towards. Has the marketing person responsible for that been subjected to the honey and ants treatment, or should I take matters into my own hands? :-)

>>I’m looking for ammunition against the popular misconception that Microsoft has given up on FoxPro. Today while speaking to a potential client, I was put in the familiar position of having to defend the merits of FoxPro as a development platform and Microsoft’s commitment to the product. After going through my usual speech on this topic, including referencing the pending release of v7, it donned on me that having published information at my disposal to backup my claims may someday come in handy. Is anyone familiar with any material that can be obtained in print or via the web that could help me convert some of these nonbelievers?
