>>I agree about the direct and honest information.
>>I do not agree (as if that makes any difference or anything new) that you are saying the unless people upgrade or buys VFP, MSFT will not spend any money on marketing and development. It is a catch-22. Yes, I think everyone that is using VFP now should have the latest version. No brainer... So, that would practically have to happen before there would be enough money to spend on advertising to bring in new folks??? And then there is the up coming response from the Fox Team... "Oh, we couldn't add that feature because not enough people bought or upgraded VFP."

>That is not what I said. I said the more revenue that is made from VFP, the more product and marketing resources VFP will get, just like any business that is not starting up (not a first version). The people who are not upgrading to VFP7 generally know about the features of VFP7 and spending more on ads and such would likley not encourage them to upgrade sooner or at all.

What about new sales??? I would bet there are still companies out there that don't even know that VFP can do even half the features that are VFP7.
