Re: Cost of migrating to .Net

But the point isn't to move your existing applications to .NET, unless
you have a good reason to do so.  New development can be done in .NET at
about the same cost (cheaper, once the learning curve has been
conquered) as new development in VB6.0.  Since in .NET you can continue
to use your existing business rules that live in COM+ components, I
would have to have a very compelling reason to move those rules to .NET
(for instance, they had to be changed in some major way).

Subject: [DOTNET-ADVOCACY] Cost of migrating to .Net


Saw this article today on the cost of migrating to .Net
http://news.com.com/2100-1001-938394.html?tag=3Dfd_top

To be honest I somewhat agree that there is a large cost of migrating to
.net.  Both in terms of training but also in porting.  Especially as I
think that a majority of people will port their apps to C# which means
it's just short of a rewrite.
