Estimates on money lost because of VB.NET

[mg]

my mom's been dead for 10 years already; I dont think that you can make
her roll over anymore than she already has LoL

That's OK, tell her anyway. You might get more of a reaction to your
infantile ranting/trolling from her dead carcass than you would from

actual< programmers here, where the rest of us seem to have real jobs and lives.

-lol!

@Master Programmer

Perhaps you need something a little less stressful to play with. Have
you considered Lego?

Dear (e-mail address removed) :

eat a dick and go play with C++ then

C++ never had a decent interface for forms-- like VB always has had.

instead of DUMBING DOWN VB THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE C++ COMPETITIVE A
DECADE AGO

THERE ARE MORE VB PEOPLE THAN C++ PEOPLE SO DONT YOU RUN AROUND TELLING
US THAT _WE_ NEED A REAL LANGAUGE

Unnecessary change isn't good.
Unnecessary change is UNNECESSARY

you've seen a massive increase in productivity from using .NET?

IT CRASHES TWICE A DAY; IT TAKES 30 SECONDS TO LAUNCH HELP.
IT WONT WORK ON MY ****ING LAPTOP BECAUSE IT HAS A TRANSMETA PROCESSOR.

You sit there and try to sell us on features that we don't need; and we
didn't ask for:

The real power of dot net comes in the object model provided. The use
of multi-threading, reflection and xml kill anything VB6 has.

You're trying to sell PERFORMANCE when PERFORMANCE ISNT WHAT WE NEED.

XML is a crutch you ****ing retard; learn how to use a database and

Hi Aaron,

Dear (e-mail address removed) :

Why do you always resort to swearing and name calling? Is it because
you cannot come up with a decent argument so you must try to detract
from anything of value?

C++ never had a decent interface for forms-- like VB always has had.

DECADE AGO

They didn't dumb it down, they made it far more powerfull. But you
wouldn't know about that because you obviously haven't actually used
VB.NET properly or have any clue of what true power coding is.

THERE ARE MORE VB PEOPLE THAN C++ PEOPLE SO DONT YOU RUN AROUND TELLING
US THAT _WE_ NEED A REAL LANGAUGE

Are you sure about that? I read around a bit:
http://www.tiobe.com/tpci.htm
http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2006/08/programming_language_trends_1.html
http://www.dedasys.com/articles/language_popularity.html

The only problem is they do not differentiate between VB and VB.NET.
It is interesting that they show an increase in VB usage over the past
year, although I believe that is for VB.NET. It also doesn't show how
many people have already moved from VB to VB.NET. I will try find out
better statistics on this.

C++ is not my favourate language by any means. But it is a good
language same as all the dot net languages and Java. They are all good
solid languages.

Then maybe you shuold look at upgrading your laptop. It takes less
than 1 second to open the help on my PC and it has crashed maybe once
ever.

Then what do you need? If you don't want it to change and you don't
need anything else then why don't you just keep using VB6. You keep
whining that there is no upgrade path, but you don't want anything to
change. If VB6 is so perfect then why would they need to bring out an
upgrade path?

You don't want the ease of deployment from managed libraries that don't
have to be registerred and the move away from DLL hell?

XML is a crutch you ****ing retard; learn how to use a database and

Hmm lets see. All the new databases (Oracle, MSSQL, etc) now support
XML queries. This is where you can store and retrive data using XML.
Why have all the DBMSs caught onto XML if it is so terrible? Please do
some research before you write something again.
