Except that after the initial purchase, as far as MS is concerned, each renewal will be because I'm an MSDN member, and not because I use VFP. How this helps to sustain VFP is way beyond the capabilities of my small brain.

>>I can understand not wanting to explain business decisions - they are what they are regardless who understands them or not, but if MS wants me to spend my money on MSDN instead of VFP in order to somehow assure the future of VFP, I'm afraid the logic needs to be explained to me.
