It's nice to see that VB is going back to its old name. I think the reason for this is because of Microsoft's move away from VB6. I think they wanted to point out that there was a difference between VB6 and the initial .NET release. But, now that Microsoft's made an OO name for VB, they want to bring back some of their old school developers. This is pretty obvious in some of the directions Microsoft's taking VB in. VB has a long road ahead of itself. We'll see where it leads to, cause right now, nobody outside of Microsoft really knows.
