>That issue had nothing to do with VFP and everything to do with selling Windows licenses.

I tought so :)
However, when deciding to stop VFP, MS strategic analysts apparently overlooked how meny PCs is effectively locked into Windows platform by VFP
applications. According to decision, loss of indirect sales of windows/office licences did not play any significant part in taking this decision.

So, if they did not care to loose that market then why keeping that eula ?
Especially now that there will be no new version ensuring future compatibility with whatever comes after Vista.
