> At the 'microscopic' developer level I like how quickly I can build robust desktop solutions with VFP. However, VFPs revenue generating model is outdated. Macroscopically VFP does not work for MS. I do not understand why people cannot separate one fact from the other fact. It is not MS's job to provide me with a permanent income merely because I've given them a lousy $500 for the latest copy of VFP. I wish VFP were not dying and then I would not have to go through the arduous process of learning C#.NET. But, do I possess the divine right of stagnation because I gave MS $500 for a copy of VFP 8 a year ago?


Is M$ making more money from the sales of C#/.NET licenses than it is from VFP Licenses?

VFP=1 MSDN subscription
C# = 1 MSDN Subscription
NET= 1 MSDN Subscription
VFP+C#+.NET = 1 MSDN subscription

M$ is making just as much money off C# and .NET as it is VFP, right?:-)
