Congrats on the new job. Glad to see you will be hanging out in these here parts.

>As some of you have heard, I’ve just joined Microsoft as the Lead PM/Evangelist for VB.NET. What this means is that I’ve been asked to help tie together the VB.NET dev group and the VB.NET developer community closely together. As part of this effort, I’ll also be working on designing the feature sets for the next few versions of VB.NET. It’s an awesome challenge, combining my love for community, cultural shifts and architecture.
