Oh and there is an open source alternative to Microsoft's .NET framework, in case you care.

i dont like net, mono or java. I got some VB6 and some VB.NET apps - the .NET apps use 3 times the memory and are double the size. Likewise for java whose speed is nbearable for anything apart from toy programs

If you don't want to be bogged down with M$, go with C or C++. They are more general and not 'controlled' by M$

Nor is C#. Both C# and CLI are internationally standardized. It's not Microsoft's fault that nobody has yet written an implementation that rivals .NET and Visual C#, is it?
If M$ has no rivals yet, isn't M$ still in control? I stand by my statement.

Controlling a language suggests that rivals aren't allowed or can be broken by the dominant vendor making changes. That's a significant difference from being the only vendor of a language standardized by an objective third party. It's hard to be humble when you're as gifted as I am at pretending to be an expert.

SharpDevelop is now actually on a par with VS.NET 2002/2003 in terms of functionality
