I need to upgrade my computer soon and by next summer I plan to go to Visual Basic.Net. I am seeing though, that VB.Net will not work on any system older than 2000, as I am using 98 2nd Edition. What's worse, it looks as though I will have to use the expensive version of XP, called XP Professional. Is this so?
Next, the only version of VB.Net that I have seen in the stores is the Standard version for $100. There is an upgrade from VB 6.0 to VB.Net for about $600 and the Suite is around $1300. I presently am using VB 6.0 Enterprise Edition. Is there a comparison? I hate upgrades, $1200-1300 is too much money and the Standard is probably watered-down to much. Any suggestions?
I am really fighting this thing since the upgrades to both my computer and VB are going to cost several thousand dollars that I really cannot spare. It's a shame Microsoft couldn't, for once, place its customers first instead of their own greed.
