I know what you're saying. It feels like a slap in the face.

I'm just saying, "Ok, I've been slapped in the face. Now what? Do I bail and move to another product? Do I scream at the 800 pound gorilla that doesn't give a s*$! what I think? Or is it worth it to fork over a little more for the product?"

I don't like being slapped in the face. And it frosts me! But VFP is a competitive weapon and it's worth whatever they ask (so far).

>Honastly. I just can't figure this out. The money thing works both ways. Over the years, I have bought and used FoxPro from versions 1.0 to VFP 7.0. I have spent thousands on MS operating systems, application tools, etc, and as a sysadmin, I've recommended or had my clients/employers spend millions of dollars on Microsoft products.

>Usually, upgrade pricing is a incentive and reward to developers/users to continue using a product. Especially with developers, it doesn't make a lick of sense to then restrict them from using an earlier version of a tool to maintain an earlier application. If the upgrade is a good one, the tendencey will be to upgrade the old applications to the new version anyway....causing, (dare I say it)....ADDITIONAL REVENUE over and above what might otherwise have been spent, with no incentive.
