Microsoft's Marketing Machine Marches On, in the wrong direction...

From Tom Archers blog: Why so many examples in Visual Basic?

We find another thing for us to ignore from MS when trying to do what they do, and not what they say to do.

This blog from Feb I wrote touches on the VB.NET & C# mess discussed in the threads from his Blog, plus some other things to ignore from MS.
DNA, SOA, Software Architecture, VB.NET, CMMI, Agile Development - Doing what Microsoft does, not what they say to do…

We will just need to keep turning to third party authors on how to use MS tools, like we always have.
The Marketing Machine Marches on.

UPDATE:
It would appear from this thread none of the C# developers care, they are to proud to admit they care, or are too inexperienced to realize the impact. I would have to say they are too inexperienced to realize the impact.

After 2 pages of crap for feedback, I'd say MS has it right. If the VB guys are smart enough to ask for MS releases of tools in VB first, then they deserve to have them.
