>So C# team isn't interested as much in adding data-centric features?

Yes, but in more of a C# way so to speak. The VB team is interesting in doing it the VFP way. The details are not publicly disclosed yet, we are still working on it all. But that is the direction and divergence that appears to be shaping up. Many .NET developers end up using both C# and VB for various components, since once they are compiled to IL on the CLR, .NET components written in any .NET language can call each other. So you can have a library of C# classes for business logic and build the .NET WinForm UI with VB.NET code, all works fine together.
