If someone needed VFP only, then MSDN may not be the best solution obviously. But most developers and companies some or all of these other products with VFP development. You should know that obtaining VFP via upgrade instead of MSDN Subscriptions is in now way a vote for VFP at Microsoft. Microsoft cares far more about how many VFP developers are using MSDN Subscriptions than via stand alone upgrades.

Ken,

I assume that was a typo, and you meant to say "You should know that obtaining VFP via upgrade instead of MSDN Subscriptions is in no way a vote for VFP at Microsoft." This sure sounds like a contradiction of your previous pronouncements on the subject.
