>> Is Microsoft endorsing this book? <<

Hi Victor. What is your definition of endorsing? For those VFP developers learning or using .NET, I plan to recommend it to them. And I will talk about it at speaking engagements like I do other new VFP books. I would say that for any VFP developer interesting in evaluating, learning, and using Visual Studio .NET (with or without VFP), then this is a must have book. Does that answer your question?
