>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.

Well, at this stage, if MS .NET strategy flops, a lot of other things will flop.

If we'd have the choice of deciding if to be in it or not, I'd choose to be in it. I'd prefer to seat more closer to the driven seat than in the trunk.
