When comparing CF to classic ASP, this was true. However, the .Net framework
provides a much richer environment. You're no longer limited so a small
number of VBScript or JScript functions. To a certain extent, you can
achieve this in CF with Java. However, CF's Java support is relatively
shallow. Additionally, it requires knowing a second, much more complicated
language. In contrast, VB, Jscript, and C# are all first class .Net
languages. You can utilize just about anything in the .Net framework.
