>Obviously, MS is putting an enormous effort into marketing .NET even now through its User Group strategy. So the premise I am about to toss out will probably not happen, but what if .NET flops and another direction is taken by the market/MS? Do you want VFP.NET saddled with this? Besides, I believe the managers at MS really do understand the strong ties VFP has to the .NET framework. We are starting to see better integration with .NET even more in VFP8. Besides, what would the difference be between VB.NET and VFP.NET? Syntax. So why have two nearly identical products? Now is definitely the time to get your ideas into the Europa wishlist, I just suggest everyone be careful what you wish for and think all this through carefully.

I don't think you caught Mike's idea fully, Mark. Mike suggests NO CHANGES to VFP along the lines of "CLR" and such. Simply a rename. Product exactly as otherwise planned for deliver for version 8.
That would distinguish it significantly from VB.NET
