Henry,

>However, if the product gets better and better, would'nt you say that more and more developers will embrace the product for their development purposes? Your overall reaction to Ken Levy's note?

It's obvious that VFP is a far better tool than VB6 and below as far as Datacentric Programming is concerned, nevertheless what's happening today is that VFPers are the once luring new comers to use it rather than MS. Don't you think it will succeed significantly. I don't think so.

Ken Levy and the VFP team are doing a great job as far as upgrading the product, but as I have said, marketing it outside the VFP fold is an issue to me I am not satisfied. Another thing that I want to see is that to make VFP a true .NET language while backward compatible with its previous version but with long debates here it UT and as Ken emphasized time and again, it will not happen because of lack of resources. It is not strategic as far as MS tools are concerned.
