>>> The reason I mention that is that it's kinda interesting to get that stat as sometimes, when someone mentions .Net topics in the support area in regards to VFP, there seems to be always some debates about it. For example, at several occasions, when someone from MS or another big party on UT mentions something about .Net, some seems to see it as if they were trying to move everyone to .Net and get rid of VFP. <<

>I view this more as people observing what is happening around them. There has been a long term move away from VFP and a short term move toward .NET. That is simply a reality of the market. It stands to reason that many developers are going to be interested in learning more about the hot skills. It isn't a pro or anti FoxPro thing. 10 years ago FoxPro caught the same kind of heat when PC Magazine published a rave of FoxPro 2.0, which had just been released. User group meetings were jammed (100+ every month at the group I went to) and books and seminars proliferated in response to market demand. The same thing is happening now with .NET, just on a larger scale and with more marketing muscle behind it.

Well, the power of VFP was also interpreted as a hot skill to me. :) Yes, I agee with all that. Knowing how to deal with additional components, especially .Net during these days, is a big plus.
