'd argue, though, that the decision to discontinue _now_ was influenced by lack of sales.I'm curious... Ken Levy told us to buy MSDN rather than VFP. Choosing purely arbitrary numbers... say there were 100,000 VFP sales before Ken gave that advice. Say 50,000 buyers took Ken's advice and another 30,000 bought VFP as usual while another 20,000 migrated or decided to become bakers or whatever. How many VFP sales were there, what was the total revenue from VFP (doesn't MSDN cost a lot more than VFP alone?) and how could *anybody* count sales attributed to VFP? Certainly nobody ever asked me.
"... 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
