>>There is a significant percentage of existing VFP developers who have not yet upgraded to VFP 7.0, so this is the primary target. <<

Seems perfectly clear.

I agree with Sir FUDmeister on one point which is that without new blood we will inevitably become a later variant of Cobol. While there are still Cobol systems out there, those systems will fade as their greying custodians retire and there is no new blood. I find it difficult to employ VFP staff, for example, compared to Java or Delphi. That's a concern and I suspect this is why some people are holding back to see how it pans out. So we have a deadly embrace- the future depends on sales, buyers are holding out till they see what the future holds.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.

-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
