>>Now, MS is trying to tell us they're doing the world a great favour by (very selectively) offering localization kits so volunteers can do their work for them! This is true even for large language markets like Spanish, German, French, Russian, Portuguese! IMO this is skating very close to abuse of the VFP community.

>hmmm. A complicated issue. Did MS undertake localization for all markets? If not then they havent broken any undertaking / promises as such. They are making a poor business decision perhaps but this has never stopped them before :)

VFP was never localized for all markets, but certainly for a lot more than now, including I believe, all that I mention above plus others (not sure about Russian).
