Remember when Microsoft actually gave us that line (with different versions of Windows) about VFP? Originally VFP was touted as a cross-platform tool for DOS, Windows, Unix, and the Mac. Then they dumped the Unix and Mac versions, yet continued to promote it as "cross-platform" -- Windows 98, Windows 2000, etc. Definitely one of their Alice in Wonderland moments ("It means precisely what I say it means. No more, no less.")
