I'm speaking of MS new APIs and products.
Yes, which are dropped after a few years, see e.g. VB.
VB.net is VB on steroids in my opinion. Although I loved Turbo Basic and
PowerBasic, I never liked VB6 but Delphi instead (maybe cause I also liked
Turbo Pascal and Borland Pascal [but TurboVision only a bit]). The reason
was it's strange notions of OOP programming (maybe cause at the time it was
designed we didn't yet have some almost global concensus on OOP concepts and
patterns as we tend to have now). VB.net is a real OOP language and prefer
it over C# or J# for .NET coding (apart from Object Pascal)
