>To Chris, maybe. I haven't been complaining about MS in any of these threads (except for one unfortunate statement by Ken that baffles me), but that is only because I don't really agree with the depth and, in many cases, the tenor of the complaints. Certainly, however, I can not accept the argument that these people have no right to express their opinions simply because they've bought the product. To me, these are exactly the people who have that right.

It's not that they don't have a right to express their opinions. It's the fact that these opinions have been expressed in this forum for years. In some cases by the same people. This is not a recent development. Not days, weeks, or even months, but years. And it is always the same argument: Microsoft is not doing enough to market VFP.

Microsoft has made there position pretty clear. .NET and SQL Server is their focus. Nothing you, I, or anyone else does is going to change that. People can jump on Ken's case all they want, but it is not going to change Microsoft's position.

My point is that if you continue to bang your head against a brick wall, then complain to your peers that you have a headache, whose fault is it, your's, or the wall's?
