Hi,

As I wrote in my first reaction in this thread.

VB is the #1 programming language for Microsoft.

VB 2008 has more new features then C# version 3

However I see that some in this newsgroup think that they are in a Linux
newsgroup. Telling bad things from another program language is easy, and the
less knowledge you have, the easier it is.

Didn't you tell bad things by lumping classic VB and VB.Net together,
saying simply, "VB is the #1 programming language for Microsoft"? In
reality, the new Net version is fundamentally different from classic
Visual Basic.

Classic VB *was* the #1 programming language, not just for Microsoft,
but for the whole world, but VB.Net is an also-ran, a pig-in-a-poke, a
chimera, a niche curiosity product that hardly anyone uses.
