Here is an interesting perspective, there is no positive for anyone but M$FT. MSFT screwed the fox developers AND you lead the parade. Now we are forced into a .NET world which is a bloat ware at it’s best. Have you ever tried to use it for "REAL" a desktop application instead of playing with Northwind? There is no comparison to VFP.
At least respect us enough to tell us the truth on your blog instead of this nonsense. It came down to a publisher based pricing subscription model and tying tools into your server operating systems to keep the MICROSOFT MONOPOLOY alive and well. Bottom line Fox did not fit into the paradigm.
You want to handle this right keep supporting one of the few M$FT software packages that worked. sell it to a third party to continue development, OR at least provide a migration path that leads us into the PIT of .CRAP. You are doing none of the above.
You guys lost touch with reality. Keep telling everyone your spin if it helps you sleep at night. I personally expected a lot more from you. As you, Ken, and Strahl are one of the few developers I respected. That is gone. So just keep talking to your MVP friends that earned their status by evangelizing Microsoft, they will make you feel better....
THANKS ALAN WE APPRECIATE THAT YOU HANDLED THIS CORRECTLY !
I thought you where so much smarter then that.
