When we say 'VB' now, what do we refer to, VB.Net or VB6.0?

I hope they name the next release VBX or something. The reason is simple. While in a production sense the word can be polymorphic (do you see what i did there ) it makes searching online a bit of a nightmare if the latest release breaks the last. Granted there havent really been any major changes since 2003(1.1) but never the less when searching for VB - "something". You may end up with some outdated code where as if you went vbx -"something" you would get a more accurrete response.

Nope, they already mentioned before that VBX will not work as it will create confusion. So its been known officially for some time now as VS 2010, due out in about a year from now.

At the recent PDC2008 event they showed demos and previews of it already too. Really great improvements.
