Why in there right minds would they do that? Why would you learn C#, and then give up that power to go back to VB.NET? I don't know if anyone would has learned C# and gone back to VB.NET. Is there anyone? What would the point be? They want to be able to compile on other OSes so they can sell more software. That is why Java is so popular, they want to replace Java with .NET, and C# is the way they are going after it, IMHO.
