There is an article on Yahoo about the changes in MS Visual Basic's next
incarnation as Visual Basic.Net, and how those changes are upsetting
long-time developers:

Seems like a good time for them to hear about MetaCard, maybe.
My favorite quote from the article is this:
> The first .Net beta release
> included more than 70 changes to the way VB has traditionally worked.
> In response to the complaints, Microsoft earlier this year
> pulled back a few of the major changes, including a change in the
> value of the constant true.
I guess MicroSoft has had some practice in the past in changing the
value of "true", so I suppose they figured no one would notice if they
did it again. :)
