> Sylvian is on the right track. The Linux community will jump on the bandwagon IF the CLR turn out to be a good think. Look at ASP from Chilisoft. Heck the CLR could even give us the port to CE, Palm, Mac...

Well, heck, let's just port VFP to Java and have it run everywhere... *grin*

The more I hear about CLR and how it is going to run everywhere "if it takes off" makes me think of Java and the Java runtime. I mean, really, what is the difference? Why will CLR succeed (fast performance, lots of apps, true cross-plaformability, etc.) where Java has so far not really delivered? Yes, I know the CLR is an MS endeavor, and that clout alone can be helpful, but I just don't see how CLR is going to take off when Java hasn't been able to provide such an ambitious vision after being out for 4+ years...
