What double standard? I'm with most of the people here. I would love to see bigger and better marketing of VFP. I'm also being realistic. Much of what people have asked for (not necessarily in this thread) won't happen.

An I never said anyone in this thread had stated that.

>If you are saying that VFP is to VB as Works is to Office as far as MS is concerned, then that explains a great deal. But I'm disappointed that MS did not make that a lot clearer a lot earlier. I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

What I'm saying is that Works will never get the marketing budget of Office. You will occassionally see an ad for Works WHEN A NEW VERSION SHIPS. It won't be any different for VFP.
