It's a handy little trick. I think I picked it up at DevCon a few years ago, but who remembers? I originally saw it used as a way to make a form appear to close instantly even if it had to do some processing before it was actually released. Gives the user instant feedback which is always nice.

>>THISFORM.Release()

This actually runs the new form then releases the old one, but it gives the appearance that the original one is closing first.
