>Yes, Microsoft does market Visual FoxPro. However, not all of us are aware of that fact! You see, such marketing occurs behind closed doors on the Microsoft Campus. Only the privileged are allowed to know what the marketing concept is and what words are spoken behind those doors! On occasion we hear that VFP developers are the target audience. New developers and corporations are not desired.

All that we have to do is let Bob and the Paper Clip guide us through our day and be sure to use Passport along the way, with Web Services, XML, Hot Mail, Internet Explorer, Outlook and all the other fine visions Mr. Gates has for the world. May you enjoy your computer experience! :)

Now wait a minute I heard another story. I'm ok with the closed door thing but what I heard is that there were secret reunions but not on MS campus.

I also heard that nobody takes notes during those reunions. That way they're sure that no information will leak when the reunions are over. Perhaps some things will be forgotten by some but it's tne price to pay for those top secret events. I say events because they're planned only 15 minutes in advance. If someone is not available to attend (because of the short delay) then the event is postponed.

You see what I heard is not really what you said. I don't like how this thing is beginning to look now. Different stories makes it look like an urban legend.

You don't know what is an urban legend?

You know those things that never happened and never will <vbg>
