>>>>>>>>>I can certainly empathize with your feelings. But you don't need 8,000 programmers to be productive! WPF does have a learning curve but it has some strong similarities to ASP.Net as far as content and code behind. Once you start think of xaml as akin to html it gets easier.

You're right, you don't need 8,000 to be productive. 3,250 is the right number! But seriously, don't you realize that the sole reason for the exccessively rapid language/technology changes is so Microsoft can sell more?

>>>>>>As far as LINQ is concerned, I havent applied it to all situations butLINQ to SQL Server is the way to go (or another good ORM tool, SubSonic??). I promise you, if you take the time to learn the basics that time will be saved in productivity over and over. LINQ just makes SQL Apps too easy. I love it. Absolutely.

I love new technology, I will take a look at your link, thank you!

What happened, someone sent a bad email to your company? I could not follow all of the posts on the New Developement with VFP thread...
