Yeah we know VB sucks ass! This is significant for companies that have legacy apps written in VB and can now run them natively in Linux. Another major aide in the migration to Linux. Kudos to the Mono project.

Thats interesting even though i don;t use vb or care for it much.
I wonder what will happen with apps that rely on some windows sys call, i guess wine will take care of that.
