I would like a vfp product manager from Microsoft who's primarily focused on VFP and supporting it and that's not trying to sell us on VS.net and every other new MS technology...

How am I selling anything here? I am posting technical details about future products and being honest in answers being asked. I could ignore questions being asked, but I think most people would disagree with you and state that they would MUCH prefer me being direct, honest, and open about questions around VFP and other Microsoft products so they can make objective short and long term decisions as best they can. Do you want me to come here on the UT and promote VFP by posting the text below from the VFP web site? I'm not hear to sell anything but instead to interact with the VFP community helping them as best I can and listening to do what I can within Microsoft. If I was selling anything, I would be posting threads and encouraging people to upgrade. I can sell VFP here for you by posting this (but I don't think that is what people want to read about here)... Visual FoxPro 8.0 provides the tools you need to create and manage high-performance, 32-bit database applications and components.
