>I also believe VB.NET and C# will land new converts whereas VFP landed very few non-FP converts.

After the dust settles in a few years I think C# will have the converts. The way I look at it, it makes no sense to learn VB.NET. I think that MS wants everyone to eventually move to C# - true freedom for developers < bg >

As for me? I don't have the time. Any free time I have will be dedicated to working toward expanding my skills in non-MS technologies and in the areas of Open-Source development in particular. Contrary to what a lot of people believe, there are BIG consulting bucks being made with this and it's getting bigger...
