Chris, please allow me a genuine question on your opinion:

For better or for worst there are those that cannot stomach semicolons,
braces and case sensitivity (I am not one of them but I *know* they exist).
Do we force them to just put up or give up?

Just curious... ...and to contribute something other than a question to the
thread: unsigned numbers are available in CF 2.0 :-)

Another appreciable difference IMO is custom control creation (C# only).

Cheers
Daniel
