>> So far, I have not jumped on the MSDN bandwagon because I believe MS does not properly credit VFP sales because of MSDN, and getting VFP'ers to buy MSDN hurts VFP (Even though Ken says this is not so). But this time around I will probally go that route.

Microsoft has very accurate data on what percentage of VFP developers obtained MSDN Subscriptions in order to obtain VFP 8.0. It appears you may only be impacting yourself by not obtaining MSDN at a discount with all the bundled software, early access to new products, etc.
