Heya Mark -
>MS never marketed FP or VFP outside the community for any version, so how is that relevent to your conclusions about VFP8 versus 5 or 6?

Uh - VFP 5 had a marketing campaign, complete with ads in InfoWorld and knowledge sales support staff who answered the 1-800 number listed in the ads. They could refer you to up to 5 MS resellers in your area based on zip code, or up to 5 VFP developers based on your zip code.
