Do end-users know, think they know, or even care, what .NET is.?
Do customers hear the word ".NET" and think its the latest thing and must
only have .NET applications, even though they've not a clue what it means?
IMHO the customer shouldnt really care as long as the product meets their
requirements it's none of their concern if it was written in VB.NET or VB6.

They do care in terms of lifetime of the app. They want to stick to the
language which they can still use in 10 years (or at least the one they
think will still be available then)

I think they don't care about this.

If someone wants you to develop an application, he wants that the
application will still run in a couple of years. VB Classic is "old", VB
..NET "young"...

Depends on the target group. I think, the usual consumer doesn't care at
all - as long as he doesn't have to download the Framework because it's
installed from CD. That's not based on a well-founded market analysis, just
my personal opinion. :)

Hello,

It will not stop working. But there will be some features included in
future OS versions that cannot be accessed directly by VB. For example,
Windows XP Visual Styles don't work correclty with VB Classic (OK, you
can use various API calls to get them work as expected without reducing
usability).

A releated question, how do users feel about having to install the .NET
Framework on their PCs? (assuming they dont have it already).
In particular I am thinking of large organisations where you have, say, 200
people using the product.

End users and customers are sometimes different. Many companies are
interested in using a technology that will have a longer lifespan.
"Average Joe" home user might not care or know.

Yes, they do care. Customers don't want to buy into something that is not
able to keep up with technology changes. They are very disappointed when
they are told, 'no to get that you have to upgrade or add these additional
packages'. IMHO the customer shouldn't really care as long as the product meets their
requirements it's none of their concern if it was written in VB.NET or
VB6.
Requirements change all the time and the software needs the ability to keep
pace. There are those that follow the 'it does what I need for now' until
they need/want that other feature.

How many DOS programs or QuickBasic or GWBasic or ANSI C, Assembly, other
unknown languages I don't care to post??? If it doesn't support it
economically , timely or at all then it matters. I know we are talking about
more modern languages but I have written in languages that just don't
support certain features and customers steer toward other products unless
you can sell them on empty promises.
