>> I know all written here, because I well read you articles. I know advantages of VFP DE. I suppose that you will divide some little piece of your precious time to look at code of my team. <<

We currently have on plans to update or enhance FoxASPI.DLL at this time. Going forward it is recommended that ASP.NET or COM+ is used in place of it for Web applications with VFP.

So you know, I did send your email to the VB .NET team about VB .NET controls and other features you would like to see implemented in the future.

>> Why Microsoft does not advertise advantages of VFP in the same why as .Net advantages? <<

Microsoft has no plans to spend more money marketing VFP than revenue VFP generates since it is a mature product. The primary VFP target customer base is the existing VFP customer base.

>> Why Microsoft offices all over the world push client to .Net? <<

.NET is Microsoft's strategic focus, while VFP is compatible with .NET in many ways and continues to not only be available for anyone who wants or needs to use it but is also being evolved with an exciting new version coming with even more enhancements and features around using VFP with VS .NET and SQL Server, XML, etc.

>> Why they say that only .Net is solution of the future? <<

Customers can chose any solution they want to implement. Many Microsoft field sales people are driven by demand and revenue of sales and it is true that .NET is their primary focus, while VFP is a solution that can and will be an option for customers now and years from now.

>> Why they do not say anything about the best database tools in the world? <<

VFP is available to be used by anyone who chooses to use it and VFP is being evolved, but you should set your expectations correctly and know that VFP marketing and what you hear will not change significantly, but do expect some additional efforts around VFP 8.0 than existed with VFP 7.0 as more planning and effort is going into the VFP 8.0 launch, but nothing like VS .NET because of the differences in strategy and existing customer base.

>> Do you think that they do not advertise because of lack of information how powerful VFP is? If yes what shall do FoxPro team to supply them with it. <<

Money spent in marketing and advertising VFP is relative to the revenue generated by VFP sales of new product and upgrades along with part of MSDN Subscription sales from the VFP customer base, and the efforts around VFP 8.0 will be very similar that which existed for VFP 7.0.

I hope this helps answers your questions and clarifies some things in your posts and others. I'd be glad to assist further in any way I can.
