Yeah, you're right of course, but that's not too bad. To be fair, Visual SourceSafe ("Visual Source Safe"), PowerPoint ("Powerpoint") and FrontPage ("Frontpage") have the some inaccuracy as well. VFP isn't singled out.

My issue with the FoxPro/Visual FoxPro inaccuracy is that FoxPro ended with the release of VFP 3.0 in 1995. I'm willing to bet that a fair amount of the readership of these magazines either don't know or have forgotten that VFP even exists.

To be consistent, I expect MSFT to start calling Windows XP as Windows 3.1. ;^)
