Tom Archer has a post on how there are more VB.NET based code samples in MSDN now compared to C#.

I have a feeling of Deja vu.

When .NET was first released, almost all code samples that led to a great amount of misinformation being spread that C# was the language of .NET and that VB.NET would be dead in a few years time. There was also a lot of debate on how all VB developers should move to C# as they had no future.

Now when .NET goes into version 2.0, the adoption of VB.NET remains very strong, both in the corporate world as well as among hobbists. And atlast Microsoft seems to have realised that it may have been sending a worng signal, one it did not intend to.

Though I dont buy the explanation Archer gives, I still think it is good move to atleast debunk the VB is dead bogey.
