True... but, it was a "given" since the "BASIC" keyword support in VB6
(all versions of VB) worked the same as the earliest versions of BASIC.
Take a look at File I/O... you can almost grab a quick-basic app written
in 1980, copy the file i/o section, paste it into VB and run. Just about
every keyword was supported (no Inkey$ (thank goodness) and no ANSI.SYS
(thank goodness) to deal with)... which means screens had to be re-layed
out and procedural programming needed to be replaced by event driven
programming. So, implementation's different but the language stayed
intact.

The file io is a good example of why they had to make vb.net incompatible
with vb6.
