Which VB?
Being as VB6 is incompatible with VB.Net, all them programmers out there are gonna have to be learnt a new language. VB6 was good at getting you 85% there on an app and then being the worst possible language in the world for that last 15%. VB.Net is just a variation on C#.Net which is itself a variation of Java. MS no longer plans to support VB6, which means all those VB programmers are moving to Java (well a java clone at any rate).
