&lt;p&gt;I think it is better said, that partners shoehorn their solutions to fit into the Visual Studio Paradigm. In most cases developers end up eating some of the cost to develop a software solution to make up for the high cost of ownership associated in building VS databases application with NON-DATA centric development language. So there is a value to our customers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even thou, especially for small and medium size companies (The market segment Microsoft appears to care less about)a VB or VFP solution is what our customers need. Microsoft unforunately is providing no other viable alternative to Visual Studio and SQL Server. The one size fits all thought pattern, in terms of developments tools, DOES NOT WORK!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have a great weekend,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;.Mark&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I hope you realize my comments are not personal as I dont know you, it is a general frustration with your company which you are VP. Having said that, I have a question that I would appreciate a response.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How did Microsoft justify adding python and MVC to .NET in what appears to be an attempt to attractive non-microsoft developers while Microsoft refuses to include a true VB 6 and/or VFP 9 language to .NET? It would appear since you/MSFT have the source code to both vb and vfp these would be much simplier languages to implement into .NET....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would think your current developer communities would have a priority with regards to the toolset you provide.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mark&lt;/p&gt;
