And don't assume that Microsoft's VC++ is for real If you can say this about VB, you clearly haven't seen this message from Linus: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-13/0132.html (posted to the linux kernel mailing list yesterday, April 1 ;-) ). Once this baby gets rolling, you will understand the true power of VB! Personally, I think its a great move, security-wise. Just look how the security of programs like Outlook and Word has been affected by meerly supporting VB. Imagine how secure it could make a kernel! -- T.E.D.
