>No...if you want to use Fox - that is your business. My point is this - people that choose to go in a different direction - or promote services that show an alternative - do not deserve to get hammered. Of course - I am referring to the new EPS/DashPoint/OakLeaf/WestWind Endeavor.

I agree there.

>People need to knock off with the whole "that is insulting" - or "why isn't MS marketing VFP" crap. People need to suck it up a bit, grow up - and move on. The whiners and complainers, the people with the big-a chip on their shoulder - deserve to the collective b-slap.

>And another thing...don't think the collective "gee..thanks Fox team for all the hard work..." is going to make one bit of a difference. Kind of makes me feel why I don't give Volvo a call and say "gee, thanks for making a real nice car.."

I don't think it's a valid comparison. You never made a wish list to Volvo engineer or work with them to test your future new car for example.

>If you want to use Fox - go for it. But lets face it, the Fox is - in all material respects - DEAD. Whether you agree, disagree, or whatever, I don't care. And for the record, I don't mean to personally offend anybody. Keep in mind, when I say Fox is dead, that is not supposed to - nor should it be taken as a personal insult. As the old saying goes - you are not - at least you are not supposed to be - your development tool.

All Win32 based development (and that include VB6 well before VFP) are a dead-end, thanks to .NET. But, the time it will take to make Win32 completely obsolete is enough to let us enjoy every new VFP version.
