So let me understand this. You believe that Microsoft avoids using .NET for their own apps, which
was the same for Classic VB and which we know is no longer supported. But investing your development
in an obsolete product is somehow less of a risk than investing your development in a product, that
is current and supported, because Microsoft isn't developing their applications in it?
