Late majority or LaggardsI think that word "laggard" carries a payload. ;-) There seems to be an implicit assumption that anybody using VFP in 2007 is backward or slow. It's not true. Many of those using VFP do so because the proposed replacements simply aren't as good.
FWIW, I've exercised the same judgement when buying cars. since 2000 I've probably saved $50,000 by refusing to upgrade every time a new model came out unless there was a definite reason to do so. IMHO there never was, so I saved my $. Others upgraded every time. When I upgrade this year I'll have the same vehicle as them, but I'll be $50,000 ahead. So who's the laggard? ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
