our company teams took part in ms' enterprise day today and i had fortunately chosen Peter Hoadley's session on Enterprise Platforms Strategy. he recommended that people start programming with COM in mind or in the 3-tier approach (was it customer, business, storage...) to developing. whether it was office, vfp, vb, j++, c++, in the bottom they were all COMponents.

i will be looking on this direction, in the meantime, does anyone know about windows DNA strategy and how to fit vfp into it? will 'tahoe' guide us in how to dev for distributed computing? next year or two from now, it will be the new windows systems.

thanks.
