What ever Bill can come up with, wther we like it or not, it doesn't matter for the success that VB.Net is going to be.

It might be a problem with the other .Net tools, but the plus of VB is the easy syntax.
I work for the goverment and I alone make about 50 seperate programs a year in VB. I couldn't have done it in any other language, beacause of the ease to develop.

Maybe C# will take this problem away, being a combination of VB and C, but when VB.Net doesn't become a success then VB6 will keep running in it's place. This way Microsoft has a backup and programs can still be made quickly and with ease.

I personaly think I will go over to C#. Providing it is stable enough.
