He quoted a senior Microsoft official [who claimed to be quoting Bill Gates] as saying that "every VFP license sold represents a loss of about $10,000 in SQL Server license fees"

Hi Jim (and others on this thread). Please do not believe everything you
read as-is without any validation. I don't know who Les Pinter talked to
here, it probably wasn't an executive and without names, the quote is
really meaningless. I've never heard a quote or anything like this from
anyone at Microsoft at any level. -- Ken Levy

Actually, chances are that for every license of VFP, hundreds of SQL Server licenses may be sold!

The way I heard it, the "unnamed source" WAS another high level m$
executive...not from Redmond...
