>How are you going to feel that possibly - in the next 2 years or so, if you want to stay certified - you will need to dive into .Net head first. Or, will certification by that time not be so important.

The same way I felt when I saw things like using SourceSafe, COM, n-Tier design, ActiveX, and HTML Help on the VFP DeskTop exam Study Guide. Its a test of using MS technologies and techniques, not really, using the VFP Product. Is it bad? No, not really, but its the same as needing to know .NET for the next round of VFP Certs.

Thats the way it has been, whats your point?
