> If the non .NET version of VFP would be so much more capable/powerful that a VFP.NET, do you think people would stop using the non .NET version of VFP?

I'm not really sure that the .NET version would be more powerful than the standard version, just different. I think it'd be a way for MS to get VFP developers to try .NET more than anything else. I actually think that I'd feel almost the same about it as I would about C#. If I have to spend a bunch of time learning a bunch of new stuff, learning what's not there, etc., why not just go ahead and learn C#? I won't have to worry about what's there and what isn't and I'd have a plethora of examples, books, etc. to learn from.
