>That seems to be a recurring theme in this thread: can they make money? The way I look at it, even if they only sold 1,000 licenses (about 1% of Fox developers), that would be $250,000, which is pretty significant to a small business. This ain't Microsoft, nor will they have the same costs. From there, they could build to several thousand users and have a healthy revenue base for upgrades. I agree $250 is cheap, but it seems to be priced for the international market. Those that couldn't afford VFP 7/8/9 might be able to afford this. License activation will be a necessary evil, I think. Based on their web site, it appears they also do some consulting, which is probably funding this effort. I do think they need to release something soon, at least wrap up the compiler.

I think so they just make a big license volume not money at the first stage. Remember, microsoft had sold Foxpro 2.6 at 99$ with all packages.
