Now that sounds cool! They can take a standard VFP form and convert the form to a WPF? Has anyone tested this?

My understanding is that they're focusing on winforms, wpf and silverlight. Which is cool, but not so clever once you know how to parse a scx. I've seen working conversions of VFP forms to more fashionable UI for well over a decade. The big difference for Etc is that they aren't just parsing the form into a different sort of UI with the VFP events/methods retained behind the scenes, they're converting the methods to IL so it's a proper assembly. That's more significant IMHO. *NOTHING* of VFP would be left afterwards apart from some of the managed support libraries that tell an informed person that the IL came via eTc.
"... 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.
