I have to go with Ken on this one. What he says is correct. Although it pains us that MS does not spend more money on advertising VFP, and that MS-Italy and other regional offices do not consider VFP important enough to add to their websites, you have to understand the way they work and what they care about.

It took a while for some of us to convince MS-Latin America regional office to do it. Now there is good material and some support from them, even if not from the local country-based MS offices in Latin America.

That Italians didn't upgrade because it is not localized is not the case. You could call it the chicken and the egg problem. You cannot expect MS-Redmond, or MS-Italy to put money into localizing (translating) to Italian when there are no apparent sales or even an organized effort on the Italian VFP'ers to convince them otherwise.

The Latin American, and Spain's VFP developers got organized, thanks to the efforts of Pablo Roca and others and - just like the VFP'ers in Germany and now in Czech Republic - got the IDE translated to Spanish and are in the process of translating the help file.

So, if you want things done, the least you can do is organize yourselves and start a campaign to bombard MS-Italy with VFP8 information requests.

That is the only way you'll get results.
