Plus, free distribution of runtime always was a product feature and VFP Compiler still requires a VFP development license. Meanwhile Chen has fixed the residual bugs left undone when MS finished with VFP. Example- anybody experienced the infuriating phantom breakpoints where you're tracing an app and it keeps breaking at the wrong place where there is no breakpoint? Bug existed for years to my knowledge, now fixed. Reporting bugs, anybody? Prg too long bug? All fixed.
