Sorry but this is all in your mind. Nobody is "pretending" about anything.
Visual Basic 2008 is the

I just re- came across this refreshingly candid statement
from a source no less authoritative than Mark Russinovich:

spinning .NET as a revolutionary technology (while failing to explain that
it's really Microsoft's own implementation of the JVM concept with new
languages layered on top of it)."
