Evan,

I agree 100%. I think this should be the attitude we should all have.
I wonder how many people have actually played around with VS.NET Beta 1. It's slow and frustrating at present, certainly not for the faint of heart but programmers who happen to use VFP to deliver business solutions should find the steep learning curve less steep than most VBers for instance, I mean, we're talking inheritance, visual inheritance, class libraries here...
PLUS we still know an excellent COM compliant, .NET compatible (returning VOID now allows VFP COM Objects to be part of solutions created with servers such as BizTalk) tool ideal for native windows apps and LAN client server.
