Almost forgot!
Signed just now. Thks+++

I also though it would ne nice if someone from our top VFP echalons
came up with sort of OpenLetter/Petition in english and post it at at Wikis,VFUG,Foxite etc and why not here as well.
Letter should be strong, sincere and backed up by solid arguments why VFP has to be continued.

And/Or maybe even more 'radical' aproach;
To prepare speccial form/letter for all OUR CUSTOMERS/USERS worldwide to fill up / sign / and send back to us to publish.

That list might be long/impressive enough to ring some bells.

I am sure menu of us have enough credits with our customers/users to
ask/advice them on lot more important things (!) , then little time necessary to sign up that letter.
Especially when explained that due to this MS decission, they might need to spend thousands of dollars in a future.

Anyways, get ready to communicate 1:1 with your users;
Sooner then later we will have to give them fair explanation/information about impacts of MS decision about VFP.

>We've heard that Microsoft simply wasn't profiting enough with VFP. A staff count of less than 10 is an inconsequential drop-in-the-bucket for Microsoft. They probably throw out more coffee every day than the VFP Team costs them.
