>And oh yeah...it's cross-platform now too! So you can make apps with it that will run on Linuix and Windows. If that's not enough they've partnered with IBM and now it's going to ship with DB2 as well! See it's stuff like this that's going to cause more people to abandon VFP and switch to other stuff like Delphi.

You can also drive MySQL and PostgreSQL with it.
You'll love Object Pascal. The strong type casting is terrific. You won't be making code that uses the same variable for an counter one time and a string another.
The compiler won't let you do forgetful stuff.
Stick with CLX and with a few compiler directives you have cross-platform apps from a single souce code.
