Hi, YAG!
>Thanks, Michel. Let me make a few corrections though. Ricardo is the Group Program Manager for Community for all of VS. Basically, lots of community features that will be coming into the products, efforts that take place in the company will be headed by Ricardo. He's been doing a lot of it already, and this makes it official.

>The VS Data team that I'm heading is made up of the VDT and VFP groups, as you mentioned. I'm not in charge of SQL Server or XML - I'm in charge of driving tools, languages, and access to data for all the developer tools. IOW, there's a SQL Server group that creates SQL Server, my group handles how best to provide access to it across all developer products.
Excellent news, indeed!
The VFP community keeps adding great representatives in different places troughout Microsoft management. That's only good news. With you having wider roles, VFP and its community would have increasing exposure, and any decision made toward its future respect to .NET is in the best hands I could think about.
Congratulations and best luck for both of you!
