Mike,

The thing others have noticed is that the town gossip had set up a projector and was projecting a fictional movie on that "great big picture window" and calling it real. You spin a nice story but what does that have to do with what Ken is saying directly to you? Your "patently obvious facts" are no such thing IMO. Rather they are constructs of what appears to be a mildly delusional mind. What is a fact here is that Microsoft has determined the level of marketing they are going to provide for a product that is (apparently) making them some money. Ken has stated very clearly what that is. Microsoft is in the business of (gasp!) making money. What is so difficult for you to accept about this?

How many times does Microsoft have to tell you something before you drop your conspiracy theories? <g>


>>VFP 7.0 has been mentioned in many newsletters in the past several months including MSDN Flash which is the biggest, and it will continue. I don't think you should expect to see a marketing "blitz" around VFP news and information. There will be items posted and sent out in newsletters around relative news and annoucements, including a few I know of within the next couple of months.

>Imagine a prominent businessman whose reputation is being tarnished by suggestions that he's cheating on his wife. He has no idea how these rumors got started, but he makes a show of his fidelity with open displays of affection and lavish gifts. What he fails to realize is that his house has a great big picture window, through which everyone can plainly see him beating his wife and carousing with the maid every night. Each morning he emerges and conspicuously embraces his wife as he departs for the office, confident that his image in the community is secure.

>I understand that Microsoft has sprinkled a few references to VFP in various newletters, but it's the omissions from one particularly important one that make all of the rest of this show look like a farce. No amount of avoiding the subject does the least bit to obscure this patently obvious fact.
