Martin,

I basically agree.

SET ROGUISH TWINKLE ON
But still it doesn't change the truth that drag cars or F1s (or even SUVs :)) are cars too but need a lot more to "port" to normal street car than others.

Because VFP is so much more MS should think about porting VB, C#, ASP (and others) to VFP like VB.VFP or C#.VFP and drop the dotNET. Aah but have they already done that and dropped the .NET

>You perfectly know that VFP is more than a programming language. When the "compare" it to others, they are basically generalizing things. My point is that to port VFP to .NET you need a lot more than to port any other regular programming language, in the sense that to come up with something that resembles VFP they should rebuild Winforms, add a report designer, and change the .NET framework to operate over a local data engine they are not providing, using a data access approach (record based, file-server oriented) that goes in opposite direction to the model they are pushing.
