Sorin,
Indeed, you're right. Interesting, because www.visualfoxpro.net IS a normal Microsoft site, although it is a redirected site! It apprears as though MS was too late with registering www.visualbasic.net and has NOT reclaimed - OR was not successful in reclaiming - the URL. This might be an other indication that www.visualfoxpro.com can not or will not be reclaimed either.

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
