>I wish that all of us (UT/VFP community) put their resources together and decide on a one common language such as Java (definetely not a M$ product), build a framework and say good bye to .NET.

No way. I wish there was another language which would create (and keep togehter) such a bunch of diverse cats (*) as we are, but I simply can't expect that to happen twice in a lifetime. I was just lucky to get on it once.

(*) why cats? Try to get them to march in step, single file, and you'll understand. We can't even agree who is more guilty of foxicide, we or Microsoft. How would anyone expect us to agree on the next best language after Fox?
