>>>Howeever, Jamie, consider this. If a business is running a VFP app, it means they also have Windows as their OS. It also probably means that they have MicroDoft Office installed. And many VFp apps are using SQL Server as their data store. So, you see, VFP indirectly makes money for Microsoft on other things < s >.
