You've based your entire response on the assumption that I think VFP has had it.
My position is quite simple. I say that decent marketing of VFP requires targeting of business decisionmakers at this time. I don't believe MS will do it.
What effect will that have? well, it'll drive contractors out. They say it, not me. And jobs will diminish. Lest you label that emotional, please explain the job figures posted here by somebody else. VFP is way, way down.
That this does not affect you or me right now is not the issue. We have to PLAN. I'd like my plan to include VFP. If I am wrong and MS targets business decisionmakers, then that makes it a lot easier to include VFP in the plan.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
