I think KenL and the VFP team do the best possible given the various business objectives and products of MS, and recognizing that VFP is not their main stream money spinner.

Indeed.


>Better to be a VFP user and a MS customer than to be somebody elses customer. That Jos is the primary business objective.

Fair enough. But this doesnt detract from the ongoing development of VFP as serious dev tool.


>And by the way - unless you have not realized it - a signficant portion of VFP customers have actually become MSDN subscribers.

This is probably true and, to some degree, probably a result of the efforts of KenL. But this in itself again does not detract from the very real ongoing developments of the VFP platform. I dont mind buying a MSDN subscription if I can get VFP and all the other dev tools and things. Its not a bad price and I believe I get some value for money.
