Yes, but most interesting are the pertinent ones.
|
|
What matters to your decision-makers beside the
|
|
Microsoft label--reliability? Time-to-develop?
|
|
Object orientation? Performance? If they are
|
|
truly committed to Microsoft in an irreversible
|
|
way, there's perhaps little profit in fighting an
|
|
unwinnable battle. If, on the other hand, there's
|
|
some existing issue with VB, perhaps we can
|
|
address it specifically and concretely.
