Developers. Armed with the new runtime networking feature built-into the upcoming FileMaker Pro. Yeah, your jaw just dropped. Ok, its not known if FileMaker Inc will add this feature this but I'd like them to add it next. Picture this scenario. You want to write a scoring program. You'll have four judges. You'll have a scoring program written just like always but this time its different. Write one FileMaker Pro runtime. Upon launch you can determine if it's the server or the client. Do this for each of them. Done. You may now sell this application on the open market with networking optional!   

How will FIleMaker Inc make money you say? A fee per seat will be paid to FileMaker Inc. upon activation! This could be with a in-app purchase just like where the Apple App Store is headed. Hopefully the networking fee from FileMaker Inc. will be very reasonable. You and I as developers would write way more programs if allowed to do this! Let the games begin!
