AS the manager of our local MSDN user group, we have noticed the omission of any reference to VFP in late promitional and support materiels received from Microsoft.

Folks, just pay attention. The Microsoft of the future is setting its main thrusters on web technologies. Any applications that relate to stand alone computers are now also-rans, as it is BG's vision that all computers will be interconected, and there will be no more stand alones. either hardware or software. This vision includes your home alarm system down to the range and refrigerator.

Wireless technologies are envisioned to eliminate access and bandwidth problems, with lasers doing it for the LAN.

The advertising and hype is as if everyone will be expected to turn off all existing technology at X hour and embrace the NEW.

It still has me chuclking, however. (and gainfully employed)
