>There was a
hint (and maybe I read too much into it) that this could change with VFP8. KenL specifically mentioned Delphi (as well as Clipper) as being 'targets' for VFP8. This being the case, there may be a need to promote VFP8 to those people if there is to be hope of realizing this goal.
Well, having used Fox products since the early 80s and currently using both VFP and Delphi on a regular basis now, the Delphi sell will be difficult. The biggest hurdles are web-development and the fact that Delphi is not an interpretative language and has less overhead.
Oh yeah, and there is that platform issue too that MSFT refuses to acknowledge :o)
