That's great except that we're here primarily to support and promote vfp (I would argue), not to support the marketing interests of MS$ and the fact that the primary presence of Microsoft here is marketing speaks volumes...

Refer to wishlist, the willing to migrate VFP to .NET platform really is not that much. Therefore, as a marketing manager, Ken only do what customers need, because no demand then support is meaningless.
