Nope. Just stating a fact that in the real world, all the concerns voiced by the naysayers here are non-issues.

There are many names I recognize at the dotnet events I've attended from here and my Compuserve forum days as VFP people. They seem to be very happy doing dotnet.

For people to say, "oh don't use dotnet, you won't like it. It doesn't do a,b,c like foxpro does", is incorrect. Many have switched, and are happy they did.

This isn't to say all applications can be written just as well in both. I know that someone from MS was here to state that someone approached MS for help in porting their app and even MS had difficulty doing it.

But that is an oddball case. You have Kevin and Bonnie right here who have successfully deployed dotnet apps.

It's been said many, many times that VFP does things in much different ways then the mainstream languages. So if you're going to switch, you can't go in with the mindset of what's the similar command to this. You need to go in asking about how do you write code for this kind of process.
