Go with what has been successful and see where the marked is going. It will still be about 12-18 months before we know more about dotNET. Going to Java will cost money.

>>I know this has probably been said before.

>>The Fox Team at MS is doing a great job with VFP and (to me) it's future seems more brighter and it's nice to see more articles/memos on the web about Fox.
>>
>>However, there are still people out there who simply will not budge from their belief that FoxPro's future is uncertain. Time and time again I get confronted with the same old cr*p and have to explain why what they're saying is merely a rumour and that there is no evidence to back up their claim.
>>
>>Personally, I think it is quite an impossible task to remove the chip from these people's shoulders.
>>
>>Does anyone think this may be a prime concern for MS, or will they proceed as they have done to promote Fox and the killing of the rumours would be just an added bonus?
