<s> For sure. I used to say, before the iPad, that putting it on .Net gives a market advantage. That advantage has disappeared.

>>Are you saying it's like Java? "Lots of apps start to get converted to Java, very few get converted." <s> Seriously, I read story after story on the forums of people who have been banging away at .Net for 2 or more years and still can't create what they had in VFP. A friend did it with the help of a well known conversion company. After courses, consulting, and about 4 years, he had a product. It's probably a good job (he's a brilliant math guy), but 4 years. The emperor may have some clothes on, but they aren't covering all the parts they should (from a story/saying "The Emperor Has No Clothes").
