People prefer to just be able to run/install something, without having to go around installing other things as well... Getting away from VB is always a good call.. I did VB for the past 2 years, now I'm C++-ing. Seeing as I'm not even half way through that pdf, I can't do GUI's yet (:(), though, if I can translate the http scraping and whatnot code, then someone else could do that bit.. Open Source means other people can take the code and do what they like with it, and it's also a community effort, so many people can contribute.. For example, Oliver can go for the main code, the Windows bits, and then I can translate some code into C++, and some other person could go in and get my adaptation of Oliver's code into a GUI.
