I've been working with fox since foxbase+ days, longer than I really want to remember :). Its clear that VFP is not one of M$'s darlings, its more the red-headed step child, and as long as it is profitable for them, it may continue to be developed.

My point is that 200 or 500 people voicing an opinion will have zero effect on M$ and the powers that make the decision. Zero. That's realistism not defeatism.
