>I will learn enough of it to integrate into VFP, and I will start with 2005 as to lessen the pain from the previous versions.

I would really like to get my hands on the Visual Studio.NET 2007 version, or whatever they will call the next version, basically because of the improved data handling, which is modeled after VFP. I still have a repugnant feeling toward anything VB and the .NET version is still just as ugly. But, I may look at it and hold my nose at the same time. I prefer C# to VB frankly, but I do like the fact that VB is less cryptic.
