Cheez! I wonder if those of us that have invested a lot in learning this wonderful tool would have a case for suing MS for afecting our livelihood.

Tommy:

I suppose we could sue, but M$ has $40 billion or more cash on hand. Their pockets are deeper than ours. Perhaps we should pool our resources and form an organization called "Convert FP to C#, Inc.". Perhaps we could get some support from M$.

Are we "cattle being lead to slaughter?" My answer for now is "Moo, Moo and Moo".
