>>The problem with these guys is they have the oldster mindset of charging for everything and being unhappy that it's not paying for itself. I think it's a no-brainer at this point that such a solution needs to be Open Source, not a proprietary product controlled by a small group of people. The more you get the community involved the more a product will have a life of its own. Regarding VFP, look at what's going on at CodePlex. I predict many of these solutions will come out of there..

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
