>This entire thing about placing .NET on VFP makes me ill. It reminds me of a salesman – any salesman in my book. A good salesman will sell his mothers soul numerous times, to “book the sale”! Can you tell I despise salespersons? Also I despise subterfuge and lies. Honesty is the only policy in my book. Trying to “get in on the action” of what .NET marketing has to offer is absurd!

My experience with salesman differs significantly from yours - they'll sell their grandmother's soul numerous times; Mom they reserve for those occasions where they need to set up contracts with a lease with a ballon payment to purchase the product at the end of the contracgt!

>We have to be honest with our development community and ourselves. Do your best with what you have and do not worry about what .NET has to offer. Rather, you should join the .NET development strategy if it interests you and continue using VFP or whatever development tools you prefer.

Naw - we want to be branded as an Acme product, complete with Coyote logo on the package...
