Is there a .NET GUI you can point me to?

Just a suspicion - I am not sure of anything (except that I will be fossilized worm feces someday) - but, I've been begging someone to shut me up - Yet, all I've heard is talk and excuses!!!
I am aware of a .NET project - But have not seen a completed project - unless some browser page someplace is a net project - then I may be confusing it with HTML (besides - browser pages are not an app).
I do know this - Some .NET advocates couldn't/wouldn't/didn't take a little project challenge and make me eat my words. I think .NET and VFP are two differen animals - one is big and slow the other is light and quick - I don't know for sure - but I have asked for a tangible comparison with a little VFP project. I am ready for anyone to prove me wrong - maybe it's a learning curve issue - and the so-called experts are really not at a skill level where they can take the challenge - or - maybe they are - and realize that a side by side comparison would reveal .NET (as related to small vertical market apps) to be the big sluggish, expensive beast I suspect it is! Shame me - prove me wrong - make me a beleiver!!!
I am a show-me guy - SO - show me!
>And that is a good explanation for why you have not yet looked beneath the covers of .NET -- you've been busy with VFP work. That's good to hear.
I love building things - and VFP lets me build big - fast - appealing - sexy apps! But a lot of things I've heard from some VFP "developers" never happen to me - like corrupted files and missing objects _ I am either doing something very right - or very wrong!:-) And - we've still got a lot of old school VFP consultants delivering browse windows and modal forms - that does not help - if we could just get some of our community to hunker down - and deliver sensuous interfaces - we would go a long way to improving our image!
So much for me - I am ready for a side by side comparison - whose got the bullocks to shut me up?:-)
