Hi Renoir,
>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.
OK. I'll try to explain better. Lets say you were a clipper programmer in '93. Since Clipper was not going Windows, you're looking for a new development tool. FPW 2.5 seems attractive because it offers you to make Windows applications in a simular programming environment (IOW not running in a DOS box). However, you knew that MS was developping VFP 3 which was significantly different. Would you jump FPW 2.6 ??
Walter,
