Hi Jim. I just wanted to says thanks for taking the time to do this analysis and write this and your other post on this topic. I agree with your comments and MS should remove or re-write the article.

What irritates me the most is why the article (MS?) appears to posit .Net against VFP at all. Why? Its stupid and I would say embrassing to MS. They are not competing technologies and have different strengths and weakness' and application.

The article is simply inaccurate and misleading. There is nothing in the article that suggests VFP was incapable of performing the job at hand. The article clearly demonstrates that the developers will be just as ignorant in .Net as they obviously were in VFP. One Gigabyte database? Surely they jest. Its a joke.

I think its a desperate attempt to "show-off" .Net. MS should be careful as I suspect that if they irritate enough VFP developers like this they may well end up driving us all over to Delphi. (No smiley at the end of this). If we have to learn something new we can also learn something new somewhere else.
