Geez man i like the way you talk :-)

>Thank you.

>Indeed, We have shown this is feasible, and truly something worth to achieve. You are super right about the powerful advantages We have in VFP in Data Handling. And that is just the tip of the Iceberg.
>
>What about the OOP Model:
>
>1. John Koziol former VFP Team member hits a good one when he mentions the lack of True Visual Inheritance in .NET. See Message #1213176
>
>2. GUI Design. In VFP the GUI is truly nested and fully extensible. Build an equivalent VB.NET Form and you would get something very different, hard to mantain, hard to extend and of course not so powerful.
>
>3. DataBinding is superb in VFP. Well you have heard the .NET story...
>
>And this is just the beginning. Take the poweful VFP Capatibilities and extend it to the WEB (not only ASP.NET, instead look a lot beyond that), SmartDevices (PDAs, Smartphones) and other platforms (Linux, OSX), and you'll get a tool that beats anything else.

>People usually tell us is amazing what we have done up to now. Well we have still a lot more to show. We'll disclose more information after we ship the first version in 6 months. Right now I can tell you only that our efforts will extend the reach of a VFP programmer, enabling to put his / her skills in completely new scenarios that right now you simply may believe it is not even possible and in a typical VFP Programmer Style you'll be able to outperform everyone else.

>>Excuse my ignorance, but is there any reason the ten ton gorilla (M$FT) couldn't have done what etecnologia is doing for us, in the begining? I bet it doesn't have anything in the world to do with one of the best data languages not bringing in monumental CAL extortion revenue for them...

>>Thanks a bunch to etecnologia for keeping the VFP candle burning. By the looks of their efforts, that candle is going to turn into a raging furnace! Viva VFP!! Yeeeeeehaw!
>>
>>It will be a serious thrill to see, one day, when hoards of VS folks see what powerfull data advantages they can achieve in a fraction of the dev time, and with huge cost savings for their clients, and turn their backs on the dictates, and usuary licensing practises of said gorilla.
