I think for every person who participates in any of the online venues, there are probably at least 10 (maybe many more) who've never even lurked in one of these places.

You're right - VFP is hidden away in a lot of little (and big) shops.

Most users may be business analysts (use - browse - copy to xls - report) rather than developers - their procedures are standardized - and any non-standard issues are service by in-house help desks. Those users would not click to MS's product page! They don't care.

I care - I want anyone going to that page to see Visual FoxPro!

But, when MS allows the old "vfp is dead argument" argument to flow unchallenged - and then tells us they don't want to be burdened with the effort (or resources) to have a VFP link on their product page - I get confused - it's like talking out both sides of the mouth. MS has money - people are buying VFP outright or through MSDN. Perhaps they should check to see if their declining share values correlate with them allowing VFP detractors (and some - from rumors I've heard - are in-house) to drop any rumor they want - unchallenged.

I am a VFP customer - I want VFP on their product site. WHat ever happened to putting customers first. How can it be waning when they don't want to handle the workload? ISn't it time MS went back to old fashion customer first values?
