>>Where is the challenger in all of this... Why don't you have the challenger speak, instead of 40 other people.
As the challenge results from dotNET people constantly visiting the VFP forum to urge migration, it seems obvious that any "comparison" would have to focus on the justification for this urging.
Justifications seem to be split into market issues (over which there is little dissent) and technical issues.
This challenge, I presume, was an opportunity for dotNET people to demonstrate technical superiority in VFP terms, sufficient to justify the urge to migrate.
Perhaps the challenger considers that VFP and dotNET have different strengths/purposes in 2005. The response to the challenge seems to indicate the the respondent feels the same way.
In which case, perhaps the challenger considers that his point is already made.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
