No, somebody (and it wasn't Whil) made a big stink about a 'Softie trying to lay down a chilling effect on Whil doing a demo on Linux for Windows. Stink rolled uphill and got lots of nice press, even a Slashdotting, irrc.... Search for Whil's 'Visual FoxPro, Linux and the Jack of Hearts' retelling of the tale... In my opinion, I don't think MS wanted to make any kind of a stink at all. I think they just wanted to whisper a threat at the right time and place. I suspect that they haven't got a legal leg to stand on. However, I'm not willing to spend time in court debating the issue. I'll choose vendors that want to accomodate "where I want to go today." > If MS let's Access play with the other kids, why not VFP? Does MS "let" Access?
