Your main point was that C# allows you to do the usual stuff. Naturally
a lot of people will use it. I intend to learn it myself too. But it is
Yet Another Proprietary Language. Did we needed it? I think that for
this kind of stuff we had VB. We did not need another MS language. 

Some remarks concerning VC++ .NET. They do not provide a RAD! Of course
they know what they are doing because if VC++ 7 had a RAD, VC# would be
in trouble. But of course there is Borland C++ Builder with RAD.


About C# being standardised, it was not properly standardised.


The summary is, a lot of people will learn it to make .NET applications,
but we did not need it. It's here to lock in programmers to the windows
platform and to lure Java coders. Also from the whole MS attitude i do
not know if MS doesn't plan to kill VB sometime in the future and have
C# as its proprieatary platform only. I was suspecting it when it was
under development, but now i really do not know (and do not care). :)
