According to Andy Updegrove, Microsoft seems to be reconsidering support for OpenDocument. A quote from the blog: "So there is no line drawn in the sand, nor (to put it another way) has Microsoft painted itself into a corner. If OpenDocument picks up steam, a back door for support is ajar."

Well, there has to be a programming language for those who cannot create real code (don't take this too literally - please), but I'd recommend using C, ObjC, C++, C#, Delphi .Net and mono - rather than something as antiquated as VB.Net (and it is antiquated - technically it's nothing but a corpse with a lot of makeup
Recommending C#, or any other .NET language over VB.NET to create "real code" is ludicrous. All compile to IL and ultimately native code. And, all use the same class libraries/runtime. There are some differences such as C#'s unsafe code block support, but for managed code, the differences are minimal.
