VB.net _IS_ going away

http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2065392,00.asp

According to Evans Data's Fall 2006 North American Development Survey,
overall, developer use of the Visual Basic family has dropped off by 35
percent since last spring.

Moreover, Evans said, "As expected, developers are finally leaving VB6
and earlier versions; they're also leaving VB.NET; which is down by 26
percent. This means Java now holds the market penetration lead at 45
percent, followed by C/C++ at 40 percent, and C# at 32 percent."

The programmers in your organization won't have a problem making the
transition, the people that rely on wizards will. Yes, there is a
learning curve, but I had my first app running in less than a month
with no training. Granted it was a relatively small app, but it
connected to a SQL server for it's data, used some complex grids, and
had a few reports as well.

As for the "rumor" that MS is doing away with VB.Net, that is coming
from one or 2 nut cases that for whatever childish reasons think that
people actually listen to their ramblings. Don't be fooled by the
flamers that lurk in this newsgroup, you can pretty much count on them
to blast everything. Hope this helps, feel free to ask more specific
questions as needed.
