Oh, that same company did pay for an on-site C# class. Regardless of whether we ever use .NET for anything or not, knowledge is power.

Most financial companies use NT.. they have to for security reasons, and while some still have NT4 I don't think I've come across any bank larger than 10 people who would even consider having W95 installed on a PC.

Not that I use it, but just to be fair (as there isn't an option of typing your own option). There are also .NET languages not developed by Microsoft as well (like Fujitsu COBOL.NET[^])

I think that is what the Other option is for. Otherwise Chris would have had to list all 20+ .NET languages (Fortran, COBOL, J# etc. etc. etc.)

I'm the only coder and my boss wouldn't know the difference anyway so I'm not sure if you could call it a standard, but it's C# for me. The case-sensitivity helps with my lack of creativity in thinking of local variable names.

Me the first one to cast the vote 
Me voted for VB .NET, not coz we love VB (infact we do a bit) but it is coz the C# editor of VS .NET is not that much cool as compared to the VB one. I mean in C# we have to type case-sensative variable names and intellisense is not that much intelligent. Anyway, being C Person, I still, whenever get chance, write code in C#. C Rules!

I think that is because C# (like C and C++) has case sensitive variable names rather than the editor being uncool.

Yup but you have noticed that VB .NET is also kind of case sensative?
Consider
dim DBEnumValue as Integer
Now whatever you type (e.g. dbeNUMvALUE) it will automatically be converted into correct case, I mean the one in which it was declared.
Can't MS ppl impart such kind of facility in C# editor... I mean for me, it would be a blessing

No. Because C# is case SENSITIVE. Therefore myVariable is not the same as MyVariable unlike VB where they do mean the same thing regardless of what the editor does.

Actually, in my opinion, I do not see much different between VB.NET and C#?

WOW... there is no difference between...
dim MyVariable as Integer
and
Integer MyVariable;
??? I think the last one is more cool...

You can do this in VB.NET
dim MyVar%
which is the same as
dim MyVar as Integer
Anyway, it is just a matter of taste.
For me, I would rather choose between, to .NET or not to .NET.

I don't understand the point about Intellisense not being much good, I see no faults with it, I like the way it displays my XML Comments for my own classes and methods.
For my team C# is the standard (My decision). This was for a few reasons, a big part of which was the much greater supply of documentation and examples already available in C#, but also when looking at other tools, tools such as NUnit, NAnt and NDoc really stand out. Another big influence was the ability for C# and Java developers to understand each others code fairly easily.
Personally, I believe VB.Net was created to keep VB6 developers (of which I was one) from feeling too pissed off at losing the massive intellectual investment they made in becoming experts in their language. I think the initial learning curve going from VB6 to either C# or VB.Net is so great, that it doesn't really matter which language you choose, it will be difficult, but ultimately worth it.
I don't like the way VB.Net has methods that are not part of an object I think this was a decision made partly to please VB6 programmers, and partly to make it look like a different language to C#
