5-10 years ago that was good advice. Now it's not. VB.NET isn't signficantly easier than C# and it's not clear how much MS really supports it now that BillG is out (Basic was always his baby). > If you're hardcore, though, you'll write Win32 C/C++ apps.
Well, sort of. MFC is back from the dead in the new VS2008 "Feature Pack", but they're definitely trying to steer people away from old-fashioned Petzold-style C/C++ (indeed, the latest edition of The Petzold Bookâ„¢ is C# and WinForms).
