I'd agree. In our Company we turn over CEO's about every five years. Every new CEO likes to think he is making a difference by doing a restructure.
When joined 17 years ago, the field staff (half the company) where insourced. Since then they have outsourced, insourced again and now the latest CEO is looking at outsourcing again.
A busy pendulum.. So in five years time.....

There I was sitting at the bar, staring at my drink when a large, trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down in one swig. "Well, whatcha' gonna do about it?" he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears." Come on, man," the biker says, "I didn't think you'd CRY. I can't stand to see a man crying."
"This is the worst day of my life," I say. I'm a complete failure. I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don't have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my wife with another man and then my dog bit me.
"So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all. I buy a drink, I drop a capsule in and sit here watching the poison dissolve; then you show up and drink the whole thing! But enough about me, how's your day going?"

Makes me wonder, though ...
... about where they kept the camera around take-off time (between ~20 and ~45 seconds into the video).
Not sure whether mere zooming can achieve this. Or is it mixed with graphics?

Yes, an interesting point.

Just tried the free version[^] on a small VB project.
The tool ROCKS! Only a couple minor things needed to be cleaned up, and it also puts comments in for where it made important decisions. Simple user interface, it generates a complete folder with solution files and project files (as in, it doesn't just convert VBarf, it actually rebuilds the entire solution for you with C# code.)
Recommended.

And miss out on a perfect opportunity to write some good 'ol VB!? NEVER! 
[Edit]
I read that the other way around. The VB has already been written...
I guess someone already took that perfect opportunity

Looks like an awesome tool, need to add to the Free Tools[^] section.

I sincerely hope I will never have to look at a VB program, ever.

The scary thing is, the VB code wasn't compiled with the Strict option (one reason why VB sucks.) I enabled it on a small project and there were probably 100 errors. I also discovered the machinations the previous programmer went through to implement "static" objects. OMG. What a disaster.

I feel for you.
Sixteen years ago I took a contract where they used VB6. I couldn't believe how bad some VB programmers coded.
Fortunately, I haven't looked at a VB program since 2002 when the contract ended, and hopefully never will ever again.

Must try it out Monday. The once I've used in the pass have been more problematic then beneficial

I've used one of their trial products to see what some legacy java code would look like when converted to c# - it took a bit more 'hand polishing' of the result, but I learned a whole lot about java reflection thence c# reflection on the 'journey'
Their product gets a thumbs up from me - with the caveat, crap (any language in) => crap (any language out)

Have a look at ILSpy[^]
It does dll to c# well enough, so you don't even need the vb code ...

VB6 or VB.net?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I would assume vb.net since it converts to C#. That's what I tried.

If that's all it does, MEH. Lots of tools that can do that reasonably well already.
