I told them that VB .NET was too awesome of a language to go away.
That's what we thought about VB too. We (and you) were wrong. VB.Net will
suffer the same fate as VB one of these days, there's no question about it.
Since no one at MS uses VB (no matter what version we're talking about),
it's just a toy to them. Toys get old and no one really cares when they
break.
