There have been VFP articles in MSDN, though not for a couple of years. Also, there were once VFP sessions at TechEd and almost no one attended.

And if you think things are bad in the Fox community, you should have heard the Access MVPs at last year's MVP summit. Your complaints don't even come close to what they were saying.

To augment Ken's response, there are other MS products that have pretty much the same positioning. Look at Office vs. Works.


>Hi,
>I am technical ppl, I don't know anything about marketing. However, I would like to tell you a "story".

>I attend MIND gathering that held in my country, one of the organizer ask me, what programming language am I using. I answer, VFP. He is very suprise!!! He reply me : What?? VFP?? I thought nobody is using VFP already!
>
>As most of us know, why other ppls think VFP is "die"? One of the reason is, they haven't hear any VFP news for long time. Ya, Fox Team and you push VFP very hard. But who know? Only VFP community. Therefore, if someone from MS can speak in MSDN, PDC conference about VFP, and tell everybody VFP is best data centric development tool for small and mid business, VFP roadmap and etc..... I think it is 100 times more effective then we spoke.

>Most ppls think VFP will be killed, so SHOUT OUT VFP in big conference will defintely give some effect.
