>>Hmmmm...Interesting. So if you want to look at it that way, then since your taking into account all the various versions of FoxPro you should also consider all versions of Delphi and Borland's Turbo Pascal then, right? How did you go about researching this because my research is not producing the same results - quite the opposite actually. Based on what I've seen Delphi's user base is at least double or 3 times that of VFP and probably more - heck it's not even close!

I wasnt even considering demographics....but any way you add it up seems to me delphi still has a LOT more users - both in and out of North America. Plus, I've also talked to a few people that have thought about it, but did not switch to Delphi...and 80%+ primary reason for not switching? Because it's not a Microsoft product....even if the conclusion was that it was a better tool most people that I've talked to that considered it but didn't make the switch didn't because they were worried about the livelyhoold of Borland/Delphi. Seems stupid to me - it's lifespan can't be any shorter than VFP's...haha
