>>That's precisely my point, Craig. I thought we covered it pretty well in our last exchange on wiki (see
http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~_WillMicrosoftMarketVFP_Comments). When people find themselves straining to find convincing evidence of Microsoft's support for VFP, well that sure as hell says something about how well Microsoft is marketing VFP. Talk about keeping things real, Craig, are you a believer in the
stealth marketing concept?

>You're right... and I'm going to say the same thing here again. Microsoft typically markets new releases. Once the release has been out for awhile, you don't see much about it. VFP7 is NOT RELEASED. I don't expect to see anything for it yet.
Craig,
If we're going to judge by what Microsoft
typically does, then wouldn't it be safe to assume that MS will never give VFP a fair shot? Some serious damage control should have begun the moment that MS announced VFP's removal from VS. We're being crucified in the job market, and you're content to let MS stall us another few months? Is that the RTM date, or the next DevCon date, or maybe we should wait until VFP 8.0, since the main highlight of 7.0 is its removal from the box. Meanwhile we've been inundated with BS about .NET for a year before it even exists! Don't
expect to see anything if you're not willing to simply
ask for it.
