>>>I just received a piece of mail marked "Save 50% on MSDN Magazine, The magazine for Windows and Web developers." Enclosed is a letter, a brochure, and an order form. Nowhere is there any reference to FoxPro. Here are some choice excerpts:
>>>
>>>"Each issue is packed with the kind of no-bull information you expect - straight from the source." ...
>>>
>>>Upcoming topics you won't want to miss include
>>>- Windows XP
>>>- Windows 2000
>>>- Exchange 2000
>>>- .NET Framework
>>>- ASP and ASP.NET
>>>- COM and COM+
>>>- C#, C, C++
>>>- Visual Basic, Visual Basic.NET
>>>- BizTalk
>>>- SQL Server 2000
>>>- XML
>>>- SOAP
>>>- AND MUCH, MUCH, MORE!
>>>
>>>OK, I get that Visual FoxPro was removed from Visual Studio, but I don't recall Microsoft's mentioning that VFP would also be fading from MSDN.
>>>
>>>It's great that MS has gotten around to updating some of its outdated docs on the VFP web site and in the MSDN database. The 64 thousand dollar question is, when will Microsoft begin suggesting to people other than ourselves that they should visit the VFP site and look at some of these VFP-related articles. Documentation is nice, but how about some no-bull marketing!

If VFP 7. had been renamed "Much, Much, More" we'd be all set!
