yes
I personally think .Net was designed with MS's profits in mind instead of the needs of the programmers.
what really the big diffrencce betwenn VB and VB.NET
vb.net will be cross-platform (eventually).
It should run on anything.
Its main method of data exchange is XML, which can pass through firewalls and things that will not allow binary data exchange.
You can use (basically) the same language to develop Windows applications and Web based applications.
Program downloads will be a lot smaller - HOWEVER users will also need the Framework, which is quite big. But the Framework will be incuded in future versions of Windows, so eventually all users will have it on their PC's without downloading it.
It uses disconnected data sets, which is cool.
It has (basic) control resizing.
It is true OOP. (Somebody bound to argue with that one).
Main issue seems to be security of compiled code and if it can easily be decompiled. The jury still seems to be out on that one.
Almost everything MS has ever produced has profit in mind. In fact almost everything ANY business has ever produced had profit in mind. But that's what makes the world go round. Even the Amish grow crops and use money.Quote:

Yeah, but I mean they're taking it to the extreme here. Read about .Net from a source not aimed at programmers. The definition of .Net will be something like "MS's attempt to compete in the web services market", not "new tool too make life easier for programmers".
YES - it's very good. Yum, yum.
Yes, I think it´s really good, but VB.NET will do what Dephi has been doing since its version 1.0.
Inheritance, polymorphism, etc..
Have you heard about Anders Hejlsberg???
No. He´s the guy who wrote Turbo Pascal and Dephi.
Now he´s working for Microsoft.
What money can do???
Think about it.
