Dot.Net

In the company where we work, we have a policy of using Java for all major developments. The core reason behind this being that we have a long term aspiration to being vendor and platform independent.

Regards the .NET framework the policy is to use VB rather than C#. Having spent some time using both langauges I disagree with this decision. I am not one to ignore company policy but I will try to change it where I think it is incorrect.

So, I spent a little time putting a SOAP (summary on a page) together to present to our chief architect.

I expect there are many companies out there with a similar policy, so I thought I would post this so you could share my reasonings and perhaps change your own company policies.
