There are things that could be done with VFP that couldn't be done if marketed to corporations. But as I mentioned before, from an MS point of view, I would think marketing outside the corp. isn't worth it.

One sales call to a GM and they sell how many licenses of Office? Versus having to do a sales job on you and maybe sell 10 copies, then come to me witht the same results.
