Win the Smart Client Initiative

Most VB Developers Still Use 6 10% q/q growth “No need to. Visual Studio 6.0 does what we need it to, it does not lack any functionality. There is no need to upgrade.” “I have only been using Visual 6.0 for a few years now and I wanted to get my feet wet. I want to get good before I move on to.NET.” Customers don’t think they need it Skills migration is too hard and too costly VB users unsure of MS’s plans for the language
