>It depends. I don't think .NET strategy is a hype either. However everyone jumping the technology right now, IMO is. It makes more sense to let the tool mature.

Walter,

I never understood this philosophy. If I had waited for Foxpro to mature, I would have missed the first 3 versions and all the experience that went with it. I would not have the deeper understanding of VFP if I had waited for all the versions to mature. I feel the same way about the .NET technology. What does it hurt to start using and develoloping in it? If it totally takes-off then I'll be in the middle of it and that's not necessarily a bad thing. If it doesn't I don't think I've lost anything.

Just my thoughts on it.
