Steve,

No one in particular (save possibly the infamous one).
But I've seen may people say how easy it is to implement MSDE in their products, repeat "right tool for the job' and talk about should they do it in VB or Delphi or PHP or...
It's one thing to be 'able' to do something in another language and quite some other to have "mastery" of that language. I've been at VFP for years and still can't claim mastery. I think I could for FPD.

The MSDE one particularly goads me. It may be real simple to get it working but understanding and support are two different things.

From your other comments I'd say that we are on the same wavelength.

cheers
