Lots of pieces from "Top 10 reasons" are outdated. They reference VS 2002 or 2005. Now we have 2010 and I think some of them are not valid anymore.

Both of them.
Why, which one are you thinking of learning?

When it is so difficult to understand and recognize the forum to which the query needs to be posted, I don't think I would recommend C#/VB.NET to you. Spare those languages please and identify something which is fitting to your skills.

I don't think that Brainfuck a very usefull and easy language is.
I think C# is as easy as VB.net but you will have to think on some extra's like ";" on the end of a line... (I prefer to use VB.net)

For automating Windows applications and can be used by administrators as general scripting language.
Does not support .NET. Support 32 bit, 64 bit applications.
We can create standalone executable out of script.
Very easy to learn.

AutoIt has been both a blessing and a curse for me! While it started out as a small scripting language for automation, it has since grown into a full programming language. It makes it so ridiculously easy to create Windows programs, including all / any controls and menus, that I used it almost exclusively at work for almost 2 years.
I used it to interface with COM objects in MS Office apps to create reports from Mainframe data harvested using the COM interface of Attachmate's Extra! terminal emulation software (BTW, Attachmate did a better job than MS). I'm talking Word documents, Excel spreadsheets with graphs, Powerpoint presentations, you name it. The pointy-haired ;-D types loved it.
Unfortunately, it was so easy to use that I didn't write anything in C (or anything else) for quite a while and got a little rusty.

I know what you're thinking. Another damn screen magnifier. Well, yes, Zoomit does that, but it was actually designed to assist in PC-driven presentations. With the draw tool, you can highlight areas on the screen. When in draw mode, you can enter typing mode, and the text will appear on the screen (nice big text). The break timer shows a big countdown clock.
Zoomit was written by Mark Russinovich, one of the founders of Sysinternals.

Is that a crime?

I had never heard of it. Thanks.

Very nice tool except for a small 'bug'.
When running multiple monitors it appears it will only zoom a section of the second screen (if the second screen is larger than the primary screen).
And even weirder when in a RDP session on the second screen it doesn't want to zoom at all but on the primary screen it does (when in a RDP session there).
Other than that very nice and I'll be using it at home (have a small wireless keyboard to type stuff on my big screen tv but the distance from the tv prevents me from using it fully since I can't see what I'm typing  )

You should report that on the Sysinternals forum.

I know but I can't find the forum for the zoomit app.
