Sweet, we can win money!

Of the three I prefer C#. Java never seems to work the same on all systems even though it claims to be portable. I had a bad experience with VB and tons of bugs so I am really put off by it! C#, though, appears to be as simple as VB but more powerful.

What is actually this? We have to post 600 posts in here? and the one porting the 600th post will win? or what? ( edit ok now I got it we have to post the 600th post in this forum right? )
Well actually I like Visual Basic alot coz its simple and powerful! but I think yeah people are prefering other languages like C# etc..
NOTE:What about the other contest of the pi? it was a waste of time?

I like C# and JAVA does not work! Java = Crap

Java does suck! I prefer C# then VB then JAVA. Although the benefit of Java is that it is portable on all operating Systems!

Well, I strongly hate JAVA. I've seen its "Portability" not work so many times! The major pain is the different version which will break one application while enabling another. Why didn't they make it backwards compatible? Maybe now that it is open source it will be.

As for VB, I hate it as well. You loose all power in that environment.

C# is just as bad although I do still like it.
