M$ probably knew that, and because he was popular with the Fox community, it was probably an appeasement move or something to shut them up for a little while longer. Simply put: they didn't want the Fox to succeed wildly...just enough but not more. See the comment about Bill Gates losing $20k per VFP sale or something like that since it possibly took away a SQL Server sale.

Eh....old hat.

Don't get me wrong, it is not an anti Ken comment as I could not do it
either. But I think he was in the wrong job.

Absolutely.  I still distinctly remember Boudewijn Lutgerink and his
discussions and pleadings to Ken Levy (but of course, Ken wouldn't or
couldn't do the right thing for properly marketing FoxPro). This one from
