>Your arguement doesn't hold water. MS is in business to make money. Period. If VB will make them more money than VFP, then that's where they need to direct their attentions. If they are not doing what they can to maximize profits (which in turn maximizes shareholder dividends...remember, share holders are the REAL customers), then they are not doing their jobs.

So if we, as M$ developers, all buy stock, then we can tell marketing to get it in gear!

What if we get with the revenue plan? We choose to allow M$ to get runtime license fees from VFP 7 & up installs. 25 per seat for VFP, free if SQL seat already in existance?

Just a thought.
