Robert Scoble is right, Microsoft has abandoned a lot of their developers

    (I know that's not an entirely accurate description of what he said).

    Robert Scoble talks about the latest Microsoft MVP summit, and some of the backlash over VB 6.0 not having a recompile path to .NET and Vista. He tried to make the argument that sometimes things have to break for revolutionary change, and he's right. Then again, I'm not sure that Vista is a revolutionary change. Anyways, one aspect that Robert completely ignores is that he makes the assumption that if people are forced to do a rewrite, they'll do it on a Microsoft platform.

    There are only so many times Microsoft can make you rewrite some code, before you decide to go elsewhere.
