>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.

I never said sales are not a factor, but there it is only one of many factors. As for the details... no comment, confidential, etc.
