>As far as I know (as I recently checked), the last time Gartner mentioned VFP was in 1996 (5 years ago). Can you point me to any negative VFP references in Gartner that are more recent? Things are not the same as they use to VFP as they were then. My line about VFP the best is yet to come is meaningful and serious, stay tuned.

Ken,

I'm sure you are correct about 1996, but that was enough to do serious damage that continues to today. It had even permeated much of MS (countless didn't even know you still sold it).

I know that you are going to change that, both inside MS and outside.
