>Based on their progress, now I think yes, they will have a good product. Their aim is 100% compatibility with Fox, but with all of the quirks and various work-arounds in existing code, I don't know if that's possible. That may make some folks balk, but let me ask you this: If Microsoft said they were going to make VFP.NET, but it would only be 80-90% compatible, would you buy it? There would be some detractors, but ultimately, I think the community would get behind it and write articles/books on all of the differences, new features, upgrading your code, etc.

Yes, I would buy a 90% VFP.NET. I would much rather recode those sections of my code that weren't compatible than start from zero.


>So, the real question is, will businesses bet on eTecnologia and will the community accept them? I would like to see Samuel at the next Southwest Fox conference, to learn more about the product and so speakers/attendees can see how talented he is. With community support, I think you're looking at the long-term successor to Fox, and they didn't have to pay Microsoft a dime for it.

I think that would be grand. I would certainly help test and publicize the product.
