I am sad because such a good tool will gone and not because it is have to, but because someone looks in accountant books and saw that VFP itself doesn't do many money, not taking in account how many other MS products are selling with every VFP made application.

I agree. For small to medium size companies, VFP is a great tool to develop cheap, robust applications.
