Because they violate copyright it's OK for everyone?

>>No, using VFP like they did 15 or 20 years is oldster imo. And no, it doesn't matter even if M$ finds and destroys every copy of every VFP CD/DVD they can find. It will not kill it or even slow new development or ways of using it! Why? Because of the VFP runtimes. I can get a copy of ActiveVFP from CodePlex, write a complete vfp web app using nothing more than notepad and existing code/examples, and host it on the cloud at GoDaddy. And guess what? I never had to spend a dime on the original VFP to do it! And yes, it's legal.
