Hi, Jos.

>Please understand that I am not making VFP vs. .Net statements. I could'nt care less about that discussion as it is not useful not is it relevant. It's a pointless topic. I am sure .Net application will and are being deployed. Why shoud'nt they be? After all .Net is a powerful development platform.

Absolutely. I know you. My own point was that I don't think .NET is still 3 or 4 ahead of being established. I think it is right now, even in countries like mine. There are still places in which it is still too much, but in the main markets, it is winning all along as I see it.

This has nothing to do with VFP market. I mean, the effect over VFP is the same as over Delphi, VB 6, Power Builder, etc. Well, Delphi is actually moving into .NET.

"My" personal bet is that in 3 or 4 years (Internet centuries) .NET will be an even bigger player, although maybe a few options could be also fighting with it. I think concentration will go further, anyway.
