John Traenkenschuh was puzzled by developers who seemed reluctant to switch from VB 6 to Visual Basic .NET. Then a little experimentation showed him that something even better is coming soon: Visual Basic 2005. Using an old familiar teaching program, he shows how new features make the transition worthy even of those old VB 6 diehards.

Migrating app from VB6 to VB.NET is probably a waste of time, for any complex app the effort will be significant. Not using VB.NET for new apps though... (looking forward to the return of edit-and-continue though...)
And comments such as "No real programmer codes in BASIC past age 12" are just silly. VB.NET has similar syntax to the BASIC many of us used at 12, but that's about as far as the simillarity goes.
