Well, Ken did point out that this EULA was designed to encourage people to upgrade, so you'e think they'e be proud of it, and try to at least publicize with a notice here. Maybe something along the lines of:

"LOSE THE RIGHT TO USE PREVIOUS VERSIONS!!!! HOW CAN YOU MISS!! UPGRADE NOW AND AVOID THE RUSH! YOU CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO!"

And when VFP7 came out, there was continuous encouragement to UPGRADE to VFP7, and I believe there was also information MS folks saying that VFP7 and prior versions work fine on the same machine, as long as they are installed in different folders. I think some of the folks at MS didn't understand the previous EULA.
