people like to use VB.net?
ROFL
what universe do you come from?
show me some stats.. and I'll show you some stats that say '90% of vb
developers still use VB6'
I would notify the folks at Monster.com and craigslist.org/job because
I sure don't see many VB.net _JOBS_

Except for item #d (which is just a side effect of your overall bad feeling),
I fully understand your frustration. (By the way, "microsoft.com/vbasic"
does go to the Visual Basic page; I agree that "microsoft.com/vb" should
as well.)
Concerning items #g through #i: I can tell you how to become rich beyond
your wildest dreams. Start a company that fully supports those who wish to
continue with VB6. Make a name for yourself, and then approach Microsoft
about licensing the VB6 product and its source code for support and enhancement
purposes. Everyone always says Microsoft only cares about money; go ahead
and prove it. Convince them that it is in their financial best interest to
allow your new company to extend Visual Basic Classic.
You can draw a lot more flies with honey than you can with vinegar. Using
the keyboard to constantly browbeat another product that, frankly, a lot
of people actually like to use is insanity. These forums have no influence
on Microsoft's business decisions. But a well-crafted business plan just
might.

well... i'll make you a deal buddy
when microsoft does this:
a) microsoft.com/vb should GO SOMEWHERE
b) NO vs crashes in a month for me
c) _EVERY_SINGLE_PROGRAMMING_EXAMPLE_ is in both C# and VB.net
d) vb newsgroup should be public.microsoft.vb.. not this
'microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb' crap
e) it isn't verbose like 2002,2003,2005
f) i can copy and paste datasets in SSRS in between reports
g) they support vb6
h) they support developing new COM components
i) they support existing ActiveX controls
if all those come true; I might lay off...
but until then; their backwards ass crap; i've just about had enough
of it

So when the next version of Visual Studio comes out and includes
Visual Basic--and
it will, since I've already tried out an early version of it--will
you promise
to leave these forums with the shame of a false prophet and never
post again?
One can only hope.
