Denis,

>There is a community. I know it you know it and MS knows it. There's a big chance that the active members of that community are fully aware of what's going on in the VFP world.

How do you define "active members" of that community? Someone who uses VFP or someone who:

>If I :
>- Buy FoxPro Advisor
>- Buy FoxTalk
>- am a member of the UT

I am very sure that the active total of all of the three items above is much smaller than the number of developers using VFP regularly, so you cannot expect that the "active members" of the community already know all about new versions -- unless you just define active members of the community as those who do any of the above three things.

Don't I WISH that all users of VFP worldwide had FoxTalk subscriptions! :-)

>MS is wasting its money if I'm in their mailing list. I don't want information on VFP.

For many others, however, getting something from MS about VFP9 might be the only way they hear about it.
