>From what I have experienced personally from Microsoft is they have done their best to not promote VFP in Silicon Valley from the time of its introduction in 1995. I somehow doubt that will change with VFP “back in the box”. I like to dream but I am always prepared for what reality may bring. Perhaps that is due to my Boy Scout training! :)

Did they purchase it in March 1992? Or, what is the definition in regards to introduction.

Well, at least, if it's not back in the box, I guess the most important move right now could be accomplished by a simple naming of the product such as we so expressed today with VFP.NET.
