When I think of the BIG fuss a few months ago when MikeRoweSoft.com had a teenager threatened with the full might of Microsoft if he didn't change it, something isn't adding up here.

>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.
