Mike, we've just invested some time in rewriting some Fox stuff experimentally using PHP, Webforms and WPF. WPF is cool, but we don't think the customers are ready. Funnily enough we had a discussion yesterday and decided cynically that the target customer for WPF in 2008 is developers who don't write company checks. ;-) It feels like Java in the early days and presumably will change and mature in the same way. The correct decision IMHO is the same as the one deciding to move from VFP to xyz tool: always stay productive while we watch, learn and Experiment.

And lets not forget the iPhone factor. People (by which I mean customers who write checks ;-) ) are increasingly saying they want to use cheap handheld/portable devices for more. But experts now say that handheld apps are dying, replaced by websites designed to look OK on big and small screens. In which case people can (and will) use just about any development tool that can generate a web page.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
