>The Austin FPUG couldn't get the time of day from the local Microsoft office. The .NET users group meets in the Microsoft facility and gets advertised at every MSDN function. Requests for sessions on VFP topics are generally unanswered or answered with: "Not enough interest to justify the expense" (which may be true!).
In Montreal, even to announce something important in regards to .NET, the answer is no. It seems whatever relates to MSDN of such has to be an initiative from Microsoft Montreal.
