>Hello Jim. It would seem that your position on this begs the question: Do you think there would be any time or condition under which you would favor the development of a VFP8
DEMO? If so, could you say something to that effect.

Pablo,

I can't imagine any situation where I would want a demo version of VFP. I don't need a demo version of VFP to build demos of my products. The only reason I can think of for a demo of VFP is for someone who is considering using VFP and wants to kick the tires before the jump in and I'll well past the tire kicking stage.

So, for me, I don't see any value for a demo version. However, I can certainly imagine people in a position where trying out a demo version would be desireable.
