Alejandro,
I very much second your POV!
This version thing is no real argument. The last two or three would be sufficient. .Net´s on the market since 2002 and I already got three of ´em on my laptop. (1.0, 1.1 and 2beta)
As far as I understand they gonna go even one step further in Longhorn and ship MSBuild with it, so apps can be dynamically rebuilt on the fly.
But all this implies a radical paradigm shift that developers pay for the development environment and not for the right to ship the runtime.
OTOH such shifts are quite frequent these days - and it always depends on marketing intentions. Crown jewels which used to cost big bucks all of a sudden are available in a trimmed down version. And the bigger market pressure gets the less the trimming.
Just one example: SQL Server 2000 and 2005 and MSDE and SQL Express.
Very much comparable, even SEVERAL leagues higher than VFP.
So it depends on corp policy if the unthinkable all of a sudden is a natural.
Sorrily this doesn´t seem to be the case with VFP.
Could spoil some plans if VFP all of a sudden would be a scripting language for Web dev,... etc. etc. and contend with VB.Net... Let VB look really old with its db capabilities...
Cheers
