I'm not usually one to be sold on Microsoft hype,
but I am quite
 impressed with Visual Studio .NET; it has a few rough edges that need 
to
  be cleaned up in the next service release or version,
but it is a vast
 and huge improvement over their previous Visual Studio products (esp.
 Visual Basic). Of course, if your anti-Windows then you won't want it.
 But if you put your feelings aside and want to learn a tool that will 
be
  most useful in the job market, I think 
VS.NET is a
good one to know. 
Heh. I'm a little anti-XP... but not anti-Windows per se.
I'm holding at Visual Studio 6 because I can't afford the upgrade to
.NET.<g>
