This has been going on for a while.

At the rollout event for VS6, VB programmers were literally cheering when they demoed the "new" dataenvironment object. The Fox people, who'd had it for several years, just sat there thinking "yeah, so?" ;-)

>Something similar happened at a .Net user group meeting on WinForms. The group was amazed at how easy it is to set the tab order in .Net. You go into tab order mode and click on each control in the desired order. Sound familiar? The interface looks identical to VFP. Also, the speaker noted how .Net now has a cool feature that shows overriden properties in bold. I think there were a couple of other things. I just smiled to myself. I figured this stuff had made it into VB a long time ago. I left the meeting thinking that the Fox made it into the box after all <g>.
