Hi Simon. I agree with this. I have been hearing this a lot from larger corporations, especially financial ones. The VFP issue that Perry compares to is a completely different one. Some large corps may not want to use VFP as a development platform because they have decided to hop on the latest MS/IBM/Oracle/etc bandwagon. However, they don't have a problem installing third party VFP apps. This is a different issue from the Java app security one.
