Another member of the "I don't get it" crowd, I see...

Do you happen to have about 10 years worth of code that you're willing to
simply toss in the trash? How about the documents and certifications for
that code.. No problem. Just re-hire all of the outside test personnel and
get them to recertify 3/4 gigs of code. What a wonderful "upgrade". But no
you say? Just use interop on all of the components? What good is "managed"
code then? How about the prices? Mom and Pops software house is just going
to jump for joy when they rec'v a bill for their VS Team System + MSDN
subscription at $10k. Wonderful.

btw.. if you're so "sold on .Net", why troll this group? There are plenty
(more than VB has) .Net groups available. That's where all of the "real"
developers hang out, after all.
