This is OK until VFP 8.0 Service Pack 1 (Ken Levy says there could be
one). How does the "Redmond Call Home" feature know about the disk
pasted to the side of the computer? I still think that this a matter
for the DOJ. How much would this "XP Home" tax cost, anyhow? Could the
user not run, say Win 98, instead?

That's what I suggested in my post last week. Buy a copy of XP Home for
each workstation and tape the CD to the side of the monitor. That isn't
too bad a per-seat fee, assuming of course that we solve the technical
problems! <g>
