The main reason why .Net is not taking off? I don't think so! Try: a
solution searching (desperately) for a problem. Throw: a tantrum.
Finally: chuck toys out of pram and blame numbskull VB programmers,
all with an IQ of less than a carrot's.

Ah, maybe they should be FORCED to learn. Ve haf vays of makink you
join us...! What's it called? Torture 'lite'? That's what VB.Net seems
like to proper VB programmers. I guarantee that if you sit any classic
VB programmer down in front of a page of VB.Net code for the first
time, he or she will wonder whether this is the entry for this year's
April Fool's prank.

VB. Just as I'd blame Transylvania for bringing us Dracula and killing
off all the pretty virgins.
