You need two runtimes now.. VFP and C++. Most PCs will have the .Net runtime on them as it comes down with Automatic Updates. IMO, It's not a big deal. .Net runtime will only be needed for some functions...when you do .Net interop.
>Sedna, i've looked a bit on that and i don't see much value to it. A few classes of .Net exposed as COM.... You'll now need 2 runtimes; VFP and .Net to run a VFP app? Well, the good thing is all VFPers have a few year to turn around and learn some othe languages and it does not have to be from MS.
