One of the link was on the News Page but I will repeat it below.

Hope I do not get flamed to post these links in a VFP forum, if I do get flamed then it won't be fair. Since you raised the concept of "fairness"...do you believe it's fair to refer to the product as "dot not"? IMO, it's not very professional - about as sophisticated as a bunch of kids doing a play on words to ridicule another kid's last name.
There's no question that moving to .NET means a huge shift and a big investment. These links point that out, though they make some conclusions that I don't necessarily agree with.
I'm seeing a return on investment on .NET work, and I'm sure others have well, though the level will vary greatly. There are many .NET success stories out there, and the on-line "how-to" knowledge base for VS.NET 2005 is SO much better than it was for the initial version of .NET right before MS released it.
