Yes, I realize that. I've spoken at Germany twice and Prague. I met some great people there.

I can't comment on this as to why it was cut and then reinstated because I have no knowledge of it.

Are you saying that by stopping VFP development that MS will lose 30% of Windows sales? No way, no how.

My gut feeling is that the decision to stop VFP development at this point in time was made years ago.
