My guess at why you can't understand is because you are a clueless, idiot
disguised as a troll.

Now we call them "Intelligen t IT'ers", who know that the days of VB are over
and that .NET is here to stay.

What if we changed English so it was more like German and require all
English speaking countries to convert?

Given the thousands of commercial VB applicationsdev eloped since 1992,
and in use as you read this, it should not be hard to understand why
programmers started using it in the first place.
Given those same thousands of commercial VB applications in use as you
read this, ask one of those "Intelligen t IT'ers" as you call them,
whether it is financially feasible to convert all of those programs to
..Net, and who is going to pay for it. Also ask whether they will all
work on the Win 95 machines that are often still running out in the
plants and shops where no one needs or gets the "good" computers.
The fact is that the installed base of VB applications is substantial
(larger than the installed base of .Net applications, for instance).
Over time, some of those applications will be converted, and some will
become obsolete, and new ones will be created in .Net. However many of
them will continue to run, and continue to require periodic maintenance
and enhancement. And as long as that is true, there will be programmers
who still use VB.

Re: You're still using VB?
No sense putting too much work into you argument. This is
probably a 15-year-old looking for a safe swaggering venue.
(And if he's older then all the more reason not to try to reason.)

I agree. Some people don't realise that need is different from want, and that
some companies (and home users) actually only need slower, cheaper and more
stable computers and programs.
Let's leave him to it, and hope that he grows up soon. If he is grown up, lets
hope that his mental age grows up instead.

There might be some truth in that last line ...
For my part, .NET may catch on, in which case I'll migrate to it
- but in my own time
I and others have seen enough 'new' things turn out to be nothing,
that sticking with something well established, is no hardship
Perhaps when you have been around a little longer, you will be as
cynical and pessimistic as us.

Windows is just one big runtime module
..NET is simply an extension
While it is possible that .NET will become truly multi platform
- MS do not have a good track record at doing that
