Even BJ Holtgrewe, a senior member of Microsoft's developer team, says he resisted upgrading from the Visual Basic programming language to the first VB.NET release when it was launched a few years back.
Eventually, he bit the bullet and upgraded his skills to the new programming features for building user interfaces.
His experience echoes the concerns of Microsoft officials as they look for ways to coax holdout developers to transition from Visual Basic 6 to VB.NET and its Visual Studio 2005 platform.
