>Whenever a new version of a product is released, there are always advertisements about the new version.

This is why people don't like to talk to you. You make these claims and deny that proof exists to falsify them. For what its worth, every VS.NET advertismenst falls under the same "new version doesn't count" rule you just made up, and the VFP7 ads are still running in CoDe.

>I asked for serious efforts.

How do you define serious efforts? You're aboslutely nuts if you think that Microsoft is not serious about making money on Visual FoxPro anyway they can. That company didn't get rich by doing things half-assed.

>Advertisements that highlight the new version of VFP don't cut it.

Where is this written?

>Show me sustained effort in a non-VFP source and you might begin to convince me.

I already did. Unfortunately, you're in denial.

>My point is that MS is not interested in seeing the market place for VFP grow.

I don't think that is true at all. You had a point that they'd rather sell VS.NET instead of VFP, but that doesn't mean they're uninterested in making money selling Fox. Given the choice, I'm sure they'd like to sell lots of both. Anything else is just bad business.

>If the single product goes to support that same wide spreading iniative, I don't a significant or material difference.

VFP goes to support the same intiative. So you have no argument here.

Actually, you have no argument anywhere to justify your position.
