Ill bet the forum grows very fast once vista is released. There are lots of vb6 people ( lots ). Vista will give them more initiative to change.

Why? As far as I can see Vista wont have any real affect on the numbers using Visual Studio.net...

It most absolutely will! If I understand correctly, the .NET Framework 2.0 will be integrated directly into the OS. With the new command-line shell youll even be able to execute .NET code right in the command line (unless they removed that feature as a security risk... Ive heard conflicting reports). Consequently, .NET code should be running faster, and deployment will become much less of an issue.

Dont forget that school starts for many today - the numbers on the forums usually goes up when people are back in school.

Vista will probably end up removing the compile from command feature. 2.0 framework I forget will or will not work with Visual Studio 2003? In any case im upgrading to 2005

Ahh schools back in that means more clients

With all this talk of Vista, can someone explain what indigo is? Is it the new programming framework, like .net to XP?

Right. You also forgot to mention WinFX, the .NET replacement of Win32.
