Kev,
>Are they slowly but surely stripping Fox's best features and implementing them in VB.Net?
Stripping would indicate that VFP was losing the features so the answer would be no as VFOP is not losing anything. If you are asking is VB.NET becoming more Object Oriented than VB 6.0 was, that answer is yes it is.
As to whether the features are being copied from VFP, well, OOP is OOP and VFP is OOP and VB.NET is becoming OOP so one would expect to see many similarities (essentially the OOP pieces).
