>>Most corporate types

Haven't met many of them lately.

As usual, there are many different perspectives here.

Certainly, when I was in the corporate MIS world (shudder) the sizzle was often as important as the steak.

Now, however, our clients are typically single proprietor businesses and the focus is quite different.

The typical system user at our clients makes less than $10/hr and rarely stays on the job more than a year or two.

Our clients' primary concerns now are cost, functionality, reliability, simplicity, "unbreakability", ease of learning, and ease of use.
A good designer/programmer could accomplish most of those goals with FPD.

In some cases we're still using FPD screens converted to VFP with no changes, because the client wanted everything to look the same.

I'll be converting one of them to a Win Form and at the client's insistence it will still look like the original FPD form!

For new work, I'll be using WPF for certain clients after a couple more releases.
I like it conceptually, but it's a bit "prototypey" to me as it is.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
