Terry, it's a decision to support what's core to the company. It's nothing personal and no slight is intended for VFP but if the market for VS.Net were to die tomorrow, MS would be far more hurt than if VFP died tomorrow.

I can't go further into it but maybe Ken can explain this better.

>Its always a struggle to keep things in balance and the perpestive honest. Why is MS allowing this fight to go on within it's "umbrella" of developers. It's not doing any of us any good! There are lots of SQL systems out there with VFP as a front/middle ware service. Redmond is letting us all down by not giving the tool that many of us on this board make a living with (and sell SQL licenses with), and; by not allowing VFP a fair (even minimal would be okay) billing on their product board!

>>Also true. Terry, you're preaching to the choir. VFP is a great tool in a lot of environments.
