That's not actually true. The VFP team sits down the hall from the DOTNET team...specifically the VB people, IIRC. They (in the persons of Calvin, Randy, et. al.) do demos for MS people that blow folks away, as they do us at conferences.

Trouble with supposition and drawing conclusions from too little data is that the conclusions are often wrong, and stating these conclusions as facts only adds to noise.

Please. Instead of bitching about MS marketing, why not put the same amount of energy (look at the time people have put into just this one thread?) into asking "What can _I_ do to help today?"

You know...problem or solution thinking.
