I talked with Markus about the site while at DevEssentials. I have not had a chance to look at the current materials there (and I know there much more is planned) to decide if it has the bad overtones that some charge. I just want to say that the goals Markus expressed to me were to help VFP developers that want to learn .NET, not to move all of us there.

>Now why would anyone on the VFP forum of the UT be offended to have someone advertise .NET? Aren’t you interested in the business plan of EPS, who is involved, what customers are saying, and what they have to offer? It is all about $$$ and every business is entitled to seek its own level. In this case I think they have entered the pigsty!

>Did I notice some emotions being expressed at the above comments? VFP is like a religion to some advocates. Imagine going into a church during a service, stepping up to the pulpit and making the following announcement? “Change religion brethren for you worship a false god. Follow me for I am the light”!

> By the way was the announcement your idea or a business decision of EPS and all the aforementioned partners?
