Hi Michael,

MS have taken some body blows over some aspects of VB.Net.

Many of the MSVP's for VB have been very critical and outspoken
over many of the short commings VB.Net seems to have.

MS have "apparently" been trying their best to fill the major gaps but
the size (bloatware) will always be "the" major drawback of VB.

Some people even say MS should not use the "Visual Basic" (VB) name
as the VB.Net product is so different that it really is a new product.

Frustratingly your right ... people will flock to its use.

As long as stability and efficiency aren't critical aspects of your
application
MS products are fine to use :)

> Has anyone looked at M$'s latest and greatest bloatware?  It requires a
full gigabyte to install, and must be installed on it's own partition or PC
lest it crash your system.  Oh, and the beta doesn't come with an uninstall
program, so you'll essentially have to reformat the partition to get rid of
it.  Support for COM is limited and support for DDE is gone.
