AW: [Mono-list] VB Good Mono Project

Hi Aaron,

I can say this because on
1. Some readings in (German) magazines and=20
2. the logical consequence for MS: too many developers haven't migrated =
from VB6 to .NET, yet. But if MS wants to be successfull, they have to =
ensure that most of VB6 programmers make the switch and not only 30 %.
3. In the .NET 2 Beta (or Visual Studio 2005 Beta), you'll notice that =
many additional namespaces and improvements have been implemented. =
Typically is i. e. the "DoEvents" command in VB6, which I've already =
seen there in the new .NET 2 classes.

I had dinner with a Microsoft champion, and he made no mention of a =
better migration tool.  Where did you obtain this information?
