I've heard .NET has caused alot of problems for VB developers. Aside from not being able to port legacy apps and having to learn a whole new language, it makes more sense to learn C# because it has all the power of C++ and the GUI capabilities of VB. That puts VB developers in the same boat we're in! Hah! Myabe they should pull VB out of .NET!
