>I'm talking about money, of course.
>Is MS selling sufficient licenses to keep the product alive?
Hopefully yes. Depends on us, the community, to support the product. Unfortunately, there still are, in many countries, people that call themselves professional software developers and make a living at it, yet they decide not to pay for their copy of the development software. So if you know people like that, and in many ways many of us do, place convince them of the importance of purchasing legal licenses of VFP 7.0 (MSDN Universal Subcriptions also count).


>Does the poor marketing history affect new marketing efforts?
No. Now that Ken Levy has taken charge of this aspect, we started seeing excellent efforts along the proper lines. There will be more good news to come, I'm sure of that!


>Which is the approximately number of sold boxes?
I have no idea and I don't think Microsoft would publish that number.
