Hi John,
>Exactly what has Ken done to uplift VFP's image in people's eyes?
I can't speak for others, but Ken's involvement has erased any doubts our company (specifically my boss) had about using VFP for future development. I see a real commitment from MS by dedicating one person to the job. They promised "more marketing", and I see more marketing, both internally and external to MS. I think Ken has already had an effect on VFP developers. It will take more time to convince IT departments and other decision makers, but I believe it starts with developers. After all, if the developers don't see a commitment from MS, how can they convince others?
BTW, I do rather enjoy the "Black/Peterson Show", or is that "Peterson/Black" <g>?
