Me too. There is a love-hate relationship here. In the broad view, MS has always been good for the industry. But they've become like politicians...

You've got money in your pocket and they want it. (Sorry, did I say "want it?" I mean't "want it ALL!")

Kind of crass but that's the way it is. Their arrogance in this area is fuel for competitors.

But I must say that I don't view the VFP team and product in the same category. It is amazing what they get done for us with such a small team, and a small budget.
