>Now that VFP is out of Visual Studio, it will be much easier for Microsoft to measure its use. One thing that Ken made clear at DevCon is that MS executives are closing watching sales information. What this means is that you should upgrade NOW to VFP7 instead of waiting for the first SP.

I agree. After seeing VFP7 in action at DevCon, I'm going to hit the boss up for a copy.

I would also advocate a message of licensing compliance. While the VFP community as a whole seems to have a high mark of integrity in this regard, it still may be tempting to perhaps share one VFP license among multiple developers. In any case, a reminder can't hurt. After all, VFP is our bread and butter, and it would be a shame if there was no VFP9 just so we could save a few dollars on licenses now.
