Are you annoyed that they used different keywords (Overridable vs Virtual, 
NotOverridable vs Sealed), or are you annoyed at the default they chose for 
VB.Net (when overriding a virtual method, it defaults to the method being 
virtual, while declaring a new method defaults to Sealed)?

It's true that they might have chosen the same keywords that C# has, given that it's a new language with new concepts; 
but one could argue that they chose "more meaningful" or "more English-like" or "less 
computer-sciencey" names for VB.Net because of the "less geeky" nature of many old-VB programmers.

Actually I don't know what am I annoyed at :) I could care less about
VB.NET. I guess I was just tired and grumpy the night I posted this :)
But hey, there's always a reason to yell at Microsoft! :) For example,
my VS 2005 simply disappeared (sliently crashed) several times today
as I was typing code (disappearing while using the Windows Forms
designer is something I can live with). I guess it happened because it
was 13th. Those fucks! :) Where's my SP1? ;(

Cheers,
Stoyan
