Visual Basics 6.0 waste of time???

Or they put too much faith into ill-informed media.

A lot of the unofficial feedback we get are from our customers IT folks. The management types who have the authority to sign the check do not trust .NET or believe it to be a viable commerical development platform. Bear in mind, these management types are not only not programmers, they are not even computer people. But, what they are, are people that have the say on what their company will buy and what their company will not buy.

If IT people were in charge of authorizing the purchase of software products, there would be nothing on the market EXCEPT .NET software. Still, in May 2006, our VB6 development staff is over twice the size of our .NET staff. In the past 12 to 18 months we have hired at least two, that I know of, VB6 programmers, and the .NET staff, in that same time period, has increased by a factor of 0 (zero).

And, financially speaking, we are kicking booty! :D
