Another wiseguy, eh?

>I don't know how wise we are, but given that we're still pre-beta wrt the CLR products (most recent public release is still the PDC Tech Preview) and even MS isn't really sure what's in store, we're all being a bit premature. Regardless, the one thing that is clear is the CLR/IL is not going to be the same thing as VFP's existing interpretive engine, and at present, changing VFP's existing runtime approach to an IL engine will be expensive in terms of existing services, backwards compatibility, and speed. We're still a year from a real product, and we're not going to be at a disadvantage AFA learning curve compared to the VB community based on the recent discussions in the newsgroups, and what I've seen in the PDC Tech Preview. Plenty of time to ramp up on C#.
