Sorry, Mike, but I am one who would have preferred only a small adjustment to the last choices set provided.
That change would have been to re-word the third option to be "Let the VFP Team decide
whatever name it wants".
To me this would have removed any possible confusion regarding the original (remove bolded in quoted above) meaning 'between the two prior choices' as opposed to 'any name they want'.
I'm NOT at all sympathetic with those crying that the lack of option "I don't want any name change" flaws the entire survey. This is purely a red herring in my opinion. After all, given the entire past record for the VFP product, "Let the VFP Team decide" could be assumed to be saying 'leave it the same'.
I wonder if "all" these people who see the survey as flawed will refrain from buying the next VFP product if MS names it anything but "Visual FoxPro 8 Professional Edition"????
In summary, ask the bleeding hearts who say they care. I think it was OK as it was, my little 'complaint' only serving to try to clarify to a higher degree an already reasonably clear option.

To me the complaining is tantamount to me refusing to answer a survey question at Burger King that asks "Do you frequently order the Whopper" as I sit there eating one because I always order mine without ketchup and they didn't ask THAT detail.
