>"C# also is slated by Microsoft to become the primary development language for Windows Phone 7. Like Java, C# is big in the enterprise. However there are considerably fewer C# developers than there are Java developers. But the importance of C# as part of the Microsoft .NET strategy and its support through the Visual Studio tools suite make C# a formidable contender in the programming language race."

>And then there was one - I already hear the arrogant at M$ saying it makes more sense to concentrate on one language- C#- to defeat Java. Sound familiar??

Are you telling us or trying to imply that M$ is thinking of dumping VB in favor of C#?

I think, most of the Fox developers went to C# while there are significant percentage of VB developers who jumped in. Developers today are playing safe in deciding what particular language they want to concentrate on. This is because of the fact that programming languages come and go except the native C and Assembler. While developers are tired of constant change in programming languages, I would say C# offers longevity because it's clean language.
