>>With all due respect Ken, Denis is not making an assumption. Just asking a question. If its not the numbers then what does drive the decision making process iro VFP at MS? It's not really an unfair question, especially when asked by dedicated VFP developers who have bought and supported the product for a long time.

>I agree that it is not an unfair question to ask. You are just reasking what he did in a different way, and my answer remains the same for this.

Ken, your answer is to the question of how one can help promote the sale and usage of VFP. And your answer is clear and concise. The question Denis and others are asking is if MS do not use "the numbers" for making decisions concerning VFP then what does it base its decisions on? Its fundamentally a different question.
