Luke,
There are quantity packs for lower quantities than 100 (but the discount
is less, of course). Data Access Asia Pacific can discuss all the
particulars.
Best regards,

OK, I didn't realise they had discounts like that.
Those discounts may be very useful for existing VDF users who upgrade
from version 7 to 11, because they might already have 100 customers.
What about new customers that pick up a few users here and there, once
they hit 100 will DAC give them $50,000 back?
Also, I'm very interested in your experience working in Microsoft
environments.
Apart from upgrading to the .NET framework (which was so different and
powerful that it was impossible to be backwards compatible) when did you
have to do a virtual rewrite? What language and versions where you
using?
Cheers
Luke
