You can paint a horse pretty colors, but underneath its still a horse. I doubt very seriously that etecnologia will be able to take full advantage of all that .net offers using VFP as the source...

Will it write WPF apps? Silverlight? I think it'll be handicapped out of the shoot and very few people will use it. Time would be better spent learning c# or VB.net..
