That's great! I checked out cedegra, looks like exactly what I want. Well, with that, and mono, that pretty much sums up my two reasons for staying with windows, think I'll make the switch this weekend.
I prefer using Linux, but I'm a big gamer. Now I'm not going to say I can't play my games on Linux. I'll just say I don't know how. If anyone would care to enlighten me, that'd be great.
I've tried dual booting, but it was just to much of a headache to completely reboot to play a game. I've heard of Wine, but I didn't know how well it could play games.
Also, (For those that know hardware) I've got a A8N-SLI motherboard from Asus, so didn't know what kind of headaches I'd get from running pci-express hardware.
Not to just throw my ignorance out there like that, but that's my reasoning for not switching to Linux.
Technically speaking this is true. However, practically speaking the two choices are VB.NET and C#. VB.NET was seriously overhauled from VB6 to make it more compatible with.NET
I'm a.NET developer, I write in VB.NET and C#. And I wanted to let you know, that this is a false statement. VB.NET was written damn near from the ground up, and its the same as C#. The differences are slight syntax differences for the most part. There are added assemblies that you can use to give vb.net backwards compatability, but thats about it. And even that is just minor stuff like Instr instead of.SubString
I'd much prefer C# which I think is really the only viable language for.NET.
This is also incorrect, like I said above, they're the same language. The current differences in capabilities are I believe, Overloading Operators (Only available in C# until Nov), Using Statement (Only available in C# till Nov), something else I can't remember offhand. Regardless, from a capabilities standpoint, the languages are the same.

Yes, I missed your point. I took it that you were under the impression that C# was better than VB.NET and VB.NET was nothing but upgraded vb6.
