Hey, look what the cat dragged in! Here's hoping things are going well for you.

There has been a fair amount of discussion about VFP and open source since Microsoft's announcement. My take (translation: I have no hard numbers ;-) ) is that most of those who have posted are leaning toward .NET, but more than a few said they are considering, or would like, an open source option. And not all of them just because they're angry at Microsoft. YAG was very firm and direct that MS will never turn VFP over to an open source effort.

As I am sure you know, some portion of Sedna actually will be open source.
