Hi Nancy,

I don't disagree at all. As a matter of fact, since I'm only a contractor, I felt it was best to hold my tongue instead of saying, "You mean you want to re-engineer this product totally based on what you've been reading from Microsoft and doing in a beta 2 framework???"

His arguement is that if they re-engineer the product with the present versions of C++, VB, etc., that by time they finish the re-engineering, it will be based on old technology. Since I don't know all the facts regarding .NET, right now it just sounds like a scare tactic to me. Basically for him to get exposure with the newest thing going.
