I'd like to see Microsoft promote VB more than C# so that business treat VB & C# equally. With Microsoft promoting C# so much more, more businesses think of C# as a language for professional developers & a big chunk of software contracts require C#.

They should rename VB to V# . There are a lot of people out there who think visual basic is inferior to C#.

Looks like good while VB win features from c#.

VB team ate VFP, and we want that special food produce more very big and exited features.

I agree with John, we want to see more vb advance examples, webcasts, MSDN events, virtual events.

I'm with John Doe. The main problem with VB is what the B stands for. It's an image problem. Rename it V# and it'll sound new and trendy. VS 2010 would be a good time to make this change. :)
