Re: vb6 -v- Net!

Most VB.NET apps provide very slow performance. A case in point involving
someone on the NG lately who was monitoring input from some kind of USB
electrocardiogram monitor that in VB6 he was monitoring up to 300 bpm. In
VB.NET, with a LOT of tweaking, he managed to get it to 15 bpm. In other
words, if you're almost dead, this app might be of use; otherwise, it's
pretty useless in VB.NET.

I designed an app in VB.NET some time ago, and asked it to sort a list box
by date, I believe it was. There was a noticeable delay between clicking on
the column title and asking it to sort and getting the results (for about 50
or 60 entries, as I remember it).

If you look around the net, you'll find countless examples of slow
performance from VB.NET. Try googling: "VB.NET" (performance or slow)

Which .NET apps are you referring to where the performance is not
acceptable?

What users are moving to Vista? Users that buy new computers. Are you
claiming that no one is moving
to Vista nor will in the future?
