I think the words "MY customers just want the job done." are the key here.

If you want the job done, then get back to Fox.

If you want to use that thingy that aparently does everything, but we don't see it doing nothing, then you got .NET.

Even for WWW development (its not my work, but i ear what others say), that should be .NET strength, but people are using JAVA, and now PHP.

What the hell does .NET after all?

>>>I don't know about others, but I start a new project with VFP and MySQL because I can get it done on time. I have tried to learn .Net and have found it exceedingly complicated to work with. There are so many separate pieces you have to learn, to do what is simple in VFP. My customers just want the job done.
