Ken,
or Runtime users :)
Here is an example of the power of the VFP runtime...
Two Developers in New Jersey using MSDN Universal write a VFP 8 program used internally at a company in TX. (about 25 users) Then the Company asks for a Intranet version and now around 1000 + use the program.
Thanks for the great work
So should I count the 2 in the 100,000 or the 1000 in the 100,000. ;)

PS I made the company in TX buy a MSDN UNIVERSAL subscription just so VFP would get more money....
>>Hi Ken, I liked the article "Visual FoxPro 9 Goes Gold" linked on your blog. Are the numbers about right iro 100,000 VFP developers? Although I realize this might be small compared to the MSFT turnover ocean I still think that it is a significant number of VFP developers.

>Yes, about 100,000 licensed users including FoxPro 2.x DOS through VFP 9.0. But there is probably a fair amount of unlicensed users (pirated) of FoxPro/VFP out there, possibly half that number more, no way to know.
