>Your willingness to squarely reply on marketing VFP outside the VFP community is music to my ears. There is no doubt that you have been doing an incredible job, better than anything we've ever seen on the VFP marketing front. If any of us have sounded critical of your efforts, understand that we're only trying to help you do an even better job, to make up for a lot of lost time. What you've done already has exceeded my wildest expectations. Thanks!

I greatly appreciate your comments and value your continued feedback. As more than just a thank you, I can tell you that a big direct mailing for VFP 7.0 is about to be launched by Microsoft that includes both VFP customers and non VFP customers, and email newsletters like ones you stated are already planned to include mentions of VFP 7.0 in the near future, all in order to marketing to and educate about VFP to people outside of the FoxPro community.

Michael, I have read many of your messages/comments/suggestions and I will say what you want to see happen and what I want is the same thing, and I will be honest in saying that whatever can be done will be done. I am very dedicated to doing all that I can for VFP both within MS, for the FoxPro community, and for those outside of the Fox community. I have only be the VFP product manager for 10 weeks now, and you should expect much more in the next 10 weeks, then the weeks/months after, etc. Marketing VFP is an ongoing effort, so I hope and plan to continue to see you send me messages like the one above in the future. :)
