>>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).


I totally agree with Alex; if one wants to have Microsoft supporting the product, buy it, and convince other to do the same!

However, there's something that must be said: in "other countries" (where Brazil is a part ot those...), we really have a different econimic situation...
in USA, VFP 7 cost the equivalent of 10 hours of a developer. Well, one day worked, and a VFP box at the end of the day.
In Brazil, VFP costs the equivalent of 132 hours of a developers... :-(

Here, our wages really sucks... I think in some other countries this is also true.
