Hi Ken,

>Question - how much VB .Net has been compromised to accomodate legacy VB?

There is no legacy code.

>Some things will change - I would argue that a simple program will not suffice for this test. Again - this is info I have and that makessense to me.

Here is a complex one. The VFP Toolkit for .NET contains 229 functions available in both VB .NET and C#. The size of IL is exactly the same.

>No doubt the framework is key - but I'm a heck of a lot closer to Java in C# than fom VB

Again, this is a valid reason to pick C# as you probably feel more comfortable using C# over VB .NET.
