Claude, you're crying wolf. If I wanted, I could maintain my Foxpro clients easily for 10 years more. The smart thing for me to do - and for my clients - is to recognize what you obviously do not, and plan for the future. That is a natural progression.

>It's not taking into consideration the installed base and knowledge of users (VB6/VFP) - MS is expecting many of them to scrap applications and redo some things from scratch. Can you do that with your clients??
>>How is that not natural?

>>>Probably the most important aspect is acceptance by developers and existing code base of which undoubtedly C and Basic have more of than VFP. However, I think VFP is still strong in both regards(partially thanks to MS!). My argument would be that MS is trying to force the issue and it's not a natural progression at all as far as the current state of VB6 and VFP and MS's push to get everyone on the .NET bandwagon..
