Yes I do. You're saying that WinForms will go the way of VFP, and I completely 100% disagree wiith you.

There are so many companies out there with major enterprise level apps in use that have no reason whatsoever to incorporate WPF or be web apps. Again, if what Paul Sherriff said in CoDe magazine that "MS won't update WinForms" is true, then MS truly has lost focus with their customer base. That's a major bad decions IMHO.
