Joe, You are right on the mark. Microsoft pushes their C# (pronounced C-sharp) and from what I have heard it is more like Java than C++ from say a *NIX or Linux implementation. Any ideas how on how to get a VB client app over to a Java? I have one of those *UGLY projects coming up in the near future.
