Jamie, I'm sorry if you took that as a insult about VB programmers. I was getting ahead of an argument that didn't materialize. I have coded in VB also. But the comment stands that if the language was chosen specifically to ease getting developers, then the developer pool was also shrunk by the other side of the project using linux. Most VB programmers are fully bought into Windows. Else they would learn more languages like you have, and Gustavo has said he plans to. Also Gustavo, I was not trying to insult you either with my comments about VB. I was not trying to flame you or cause a language war.
