Rod,

Interestingly enough, M$ does not seems to take the FoxPro "subsidy" vis-a-vis Windows argumwent seriously. Otherwise, why have they for ten years not bothered to seriously promote FoxPro beyond the FoxPro community. I have followed many threads on several Forums on this theme including such topics on Fox.wikis.com on whether it is better to buy a whole MSDN subscription containing FoxPro or to buy FoxPro separately and other M$ products as needed separately. One person has even been hawking cut rate MSDN subscriptions on the lists.

It seems that M$ wants to eat their cake and have it too!
