Microsoft stated that Visual Basic will no longer align with C# I blogged a short piece about this on our sister site, Codeguru:

This is an interesting divergence from the previous stance of trying to keep VB in sync with C# at a higher level. That clearly is now being abandoned. I'm curious to hear what everyone has to think about this new direction, thus it seemed appropriate to ask this here, in the VB.NET main forum.

Were you surprised when Microsoft said "hundreds of thousands' of users of VB versus the millions of C# users? What are your biggest concerns about Microsoft's new strategy? What do you see as positive?
