I do. '.Net' is "worse" than C++ in that every module of code is treated as
a class object and so can be reused by other programs almost as easily as a
normal ActiveX control and by any other language (C++,Java,C#,ASP,etc). In
fact VB.Net is totally different than VB6 in that it's a true OOP language.
I actually think the .Net Framework is quite good and it's just a shame that
COGNOS did not think of it themselves!
