>>I believe it's 500,000 FoxPro users, less then 200,000 VFP users if I'm not mistaken. Maybe Robert will shed some light on this. It makes a big difference because if the numbers I'm throwing out there are correct, it means 300,000+ haven't upgraded and at this point are highly unlikely to do so. It also means that the VFP community caries considerably less weight with MS and justifiably so.

>Recently, I got a call from client who didn't know exactly what platform was used in their applications: VB (!),Fox or VFP. When I came and looked I found that this is all VFP (a little bit messy one:). So, I wonder how this client was counted in all these estimations.
We have an estimated 100 clients which are recipient of a ROYALTY FREE distributed FoxPRO Applications. These clients are not counted as USERS of FOXPRO or VFP. Only the registered FP users on MS are included on that 500,000 claim.
