Hi Morgan,

You might be surprised to find out the number of large enterprise-sized companies that using both VB.NET and C#. The main use of VB.NET is for the UI portion of the app and everything else in C#. There are many clients of mine that are doing this very approach because of the skill base of the developers involved. The focus of the languages are very different and will be even more so in the future.
