Mike,

>>Maybe, it should get a real new name, so that all IT managers can't draw the link to FoxPro and think this programming language is new. Since al lot of managers get real interested in new products, we might be able to get rid of the old 'VFP is dead' song, and finally get a bigger marketshare.

I don't think it works so. Personally I think that all those VFP is dead rumours are started by mis-informed managers who do not know anything about the latest versions of VFP. But since they know it from the Foxbase, FoxPro 2.6 days they might think since it is on the market for such a long time, it could not be up-to date.

By giving VFP a new name those foolish managers can't draw the link inmediately and won't start those rumours anymore. Also if MS changes the name, would it not be likely that there will be a next version ?

Just wondering.
