You have your opinion on the benefits of VFP7, I have mine, so does everyone else. Ultimately, the only opinion that matters to a potential buyer/upgrader is their own. You can't impose your opinion on others.
To address your original post:
>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.
Blaming customers for insufficient sales is
completely unacceptable.
If the sales of any version, current or future, of VFP are deemed inadequate, the blame will be split,
deservedly so, between:
- the VFP Development Team, for not creating a sufficiently attractive package
- Sales & Marketing, for failing to price the product properly and/or get the word out.
