I have seen the .NET framework to evolving pretty quickly lately with 3.0 and 3.5, that I think it is too early to tell who is better? I also don't the "lock-in" is as bad you make it out to be. As VFP developer, I have been locked into Windows. I don't care... I haven't found any compelling better reason not to use Windows/VFP/SQL Server/IE/Outlook/Office or anyone to pay me otherwise. YMMV. David L.
