I'm going off of memory as well, but I thought the number of VB developers was either 3 or 3.5 million. I guess it all depends on the source. I believe a recent .NET article (about complaining VB developers) mentioned 6 million. It would be nice if MS told us how many copies of VFP7 they sell, but of course, that info will be NDA.
