Cicilia Bergman, Synertech Systems, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada I have used FoxPro since 1991. Its the best database development tool on the market. But I think Im rather alone here in Sweden. Microsoft Sweden and the data magazines write NOTING about FoxPro in this country. The most programmers even dont know the exist of the fantastic FoxPro. Why is it so??? Kjell Svedlund, Huddinge University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden Congratulations from Sorocaba(SP) - Brasil Edson Meireles, E.G.M. Software, Sorocaba (Sp), Brazil Great product, it has been helping to developing applications and making my life easier. Microsoft, please don't leave improving this great producto.

Chris Lyons, Thornlands Business Services, Brisbane, Australia Since 1992 Microsoft open new WINDOWS to vfp programmers continuing to make the software more fast, reliable, updated and other thousand of improvements. It's important that now the vfp product join to a .NET distribution even without be a .net language. Mauricio Marques, Moshe Informática, Atibaia / Sp, Brazil FoxPro has proven to be the best desktop application development tool. The Fox team at MS is by far the best... FoxPro beats them all... I have used FoxPro since 1991 and other languages but I have to admit the VFP 7 has them all beat. It is an all in one development tool and it also works with VS.Net. John Ranauro, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, United States FoxPro is a great product and we are looking forwared to the next version.

Charles Posey, Datascan Technologies, Atlanta, Georgia, United States I vaguely remember that Borland had the opportunity to buy Fox Software for something like $7 million and they turned it down. While not quite on the same scale as D.R. turning down IBM to bundle DR-DOS with the IBM/PC, it was definitely a match made in heaven for Microsoft to bring Fox under its wing. Thanks for an awesome 10 years - it just gets better and better. Franz Nisswandt, Nisswandt Computer, Mpls, Mn, Minnesota, United States I've been using FoxPro since 1995. Comparing to various programming language/application development software, FoxPro is my favorite. Such a sleek and fun software to work with!

Joseph Pereira, Screentek Corp., Scottsdale, Arizona, United States I had the great pleasure to be running the user group meeting in which the buyout was announced. It was a great evening. After all the announcements, gift give-a-ways (they lost the business cards for the raffle so I had to through the freebies into the audience...) I was asked by the press what I though of the whole thing. I said that I thought they would do great things with FoxPro and that there was no way they were going to let it languish. The press didn't print my comments and instead printed all the comments from the pundits who said it would be tabled immediately. Here it is, 10 years later, significantly improved, with yet another version in the works. Thanks MS for proving me right and for doing all you have done!
