>>Exactly. You hear it with some frequency but it is misguided to blame FoxPro's demise on customers. Customers began drifting away from VFP for valid reasons. It's the obligation of the vendor to put out a product customers still want to buy, not of customers to blindly keep on buying. Once you peel off the emotional layer, this is just standard, rational consumer behavior.

In current use? Or does that include registered users of VFP 6 who didn't upgrade after that? For sure I think anyone still using the product should prefer VFP 9.

I am sure piracy, especially overseas from what I hear, is part of the picture. If those who are using the product without paying for it were a factor in Microsoft undercounting the real user market, then it's fair to point a finger at them.
