>Thanks, Fernando, but I really am not qualified to write the article. I think that making the suggestion represents the extent of my contribution in this department. Strategically, such an article would be helpful to the promotion of VFP within Microsoft itself, which is a key objective. My central point remains, however, that our marketing endeavors are rendered ineffectual by Microsoft's damning omissions. Above all, we need some small, but visible action from Microsoft to fix this problem.

I think you're being modest, but I must respect what you're saying.

Look, Mike Stewart said:
>I've got the ear of the technical editor for MSDN magazine, and he already told me that he would be willing to get a VFP article (or more) published. Please forward your article submission to me, and I'll see about getting it in.

I can see a big commitment of him (thank you Mike S!), and I think that, im my very modest opinion, the VFP community can not loose one great opportunity like this one that was offered to us. We've being waiting for space for a long time, now that we've got it, who will volunteer to do this work, and write the blessed(s) article(s)?

I think that we must push to start rolling the (MS VFP marketing) wheel, and this (small) step may come to be the one to break its inertia.

Regards,

Fernando
