VB 6.0 and all Visual Studio Languages prior to .NET had their own libraries and it was hard to switch from one language to the next. With the new .NET language you can easily port your applications from one language to the next. .NET allows your application to run on any computer that has .NET installed which makes it convenient but a pain as well. Most users do not stay current with the .NET releases. Companies are switching to it because Microsoft is saying they should...... The .NET programming is much easier and less buggy than the old one.
