Thanks Craig.

Yes, the V1.0 is certainly daunting, it would certainly not be a wise move until it's matured abit.

>.Net is an initiative from MS, not a product. It basically uses software as services and XML as the way to pass data and messages between the services. .Net includes servers, SQL Servers, Visual Studio and other products. It is not internet specific. For example, VS .Net can develop Win32 forms to run on desktop machines in a corporate environment.

The Fox community has said it does not want to participate in the Common Language Runtime (CLR). IMO, if this meant the death of Fox, the Fox team would have not asked us what we want and would have just made VFP CLR compatable. There are now more members on the Fox team than a year ago.
