When Microsoft finally resigns itself to being broken up, I recommend that they form the following two companies: Windows.com and Office.com. They already own the windows.com domain name, and I imagine that they could obtain the office.com one for an insignificant sum of money. Thanks to their brilliant marketing machine, most users of Office and Windows don’t actually know that they are Microsoft products anyway. (Overheard on the phone to an office administrator: “You mean Windows NT is a Microsoft product? I didn’t know that!” I swear this actually happened.) I would like to browse business.office.com for Word, Excel, etc, and developer.office.com for the MSDN / Visual Studio products.
This article is based on the session notes for my session at the Microsoft VFP DevCon in 1999.
This article came out of some work done for Cornerstone project, where an application needed to work transparently with either SQL Server or Visual FoxPro, with a single code base. The article was translated into German and published in the journal Fuchs in 1999.

This article on designing a class library to compensate for the lack of object-oriented menus in Visual FoxPro was based on my session notes from the FoxTeach Conference in 1996.
The Windows Registry used to be a hot topic, and FoxPro programmers found it a mystery like everyone else. Portions of this article, published in the Inside VFP Journal in May/June 1996, found their way mysteriously into a Visual Basic Journal, and even MSDN!
This is my first published article, and it’s about trapping keyboard events using the C API in FoxPro, published in Foxtalk, July 1993.
