I suspect you're right - that this is an add-on of some kind. As far as it being pretty plain I'll respectfully disagree with you there.
If it was pretty plain then the sentence would say something like "this is an add-on, not a new version or upgrade". Micro$oft has intentionly worded it the way they did because a lot of people will look at that sentence a say ... oohh.. VFP10 - its an upgrade - only way to get it is to have VFP9.
Extreamly poor practice of trying to confuse people and/or trick them into buying something believing that they'll have to have it to get the next version.
I think Ken should step up to the plate here and claify all this here, in his blog, and on the MS website.
