I don't think you get it and your insults prove that you're probably never going to get it. VFP has never been the center of the universe for Microsoft and will never be, but, that's the way it's always been. However, blowhard diehards like you continually interpret it to be the end of VFP. Gee, I guess the fact that they just put out a brand new version really makes the case for you...

>Perhaps you don't understand english. Please point out to me where I mentioned .net in my post? I am merely saying that fox is dying and all the diehard blowhards in the world are not going to stop its demise with well intentioned create-a-movement-du-jour attitude.

>>Please get my point, which I will not repeat unless you don't have the brain to get my message: This is not the right forum for arguments promoting dotNET

>>Personally I can see that dotNET has potensials, and it may well be the future. It may also very well be that I will use it sometimes in the future whenever I find that it can solve a problem for me which I can not solve with VFP, and that will probably be many years from now. And it may very well be the biggest failure in computer history! Nobody knows. But that's not my point. Please reread my bolded text and try to understand my and others point here! This is a Fox forum, period.

>>>I believe JVP is going to be vindicated in the long run. He was the first with enough guts to stand up and say what he saw as the "writing on the wall". He was tarred, feathered, scape-goated, hated, etc, because he wouldn't back down from what he believed. Any contrarian is hated and reviled even though they may be proved correct in the long run.

>>>Why waste your breath? The die-hards here will never see the light, until the train flattens them in the middle of the track. Then they will stand up and wonder what that was and go back to their tried-and-true existence. Its safer not to take a risk...

And they of course understand that we don't want to listen to their stuff, but since they have seen the light, they feel they simply must tell us over and over again. Where is Billy Graham? :-)

>>>>>Sorry to jump in, but, why are you so offended everyone doesn't want to jump on the .NET bandwagon? Why is it so hard to understand that the people here like VFP and are happy there's a new version? The timing is bad for them because they're looking at new ways to use vfp or vfp and .NET together, not convert everything...
