Craig,
This complaint about VFP Marketing has gone on for several years now. Let's agree that VFP 5 and 6 were far better advertised than VFP 3. Not "marketed" but advertised.

The complaints have not abated. In fact, they have grown stronger!

We wanted and needed more MARKETING of VFP both inside and outside of MS and so what does MS do for us - they give Mr. Green more responsibilities to dilute his efforts for VFP! THANK YOU MS! We have been really well served by that illustrious move. And some of his responsibilities are for products that are widely viewed as competing with VFP. Thanks again, MS.

Since Mr. Green still has responsibility for VFP Marketing and since it is widely viewed that VFP marketing just hasn't worked so far, and since Mr. Green has responsibilities for other products too NOW, we should expect things to get better?

That's a hard one to swallow.
