How would unifying the languages simplify things? Simplify for whom?
What do you mean "people keep talking about switching to C#.Net"? People are
also talking about switching to VB.Net & J#.

Mhm. That's the main reason why .NET exists. Multiple
languages/compilers written by different companies share the same
execution environment and class framework. The number of programming
languages for .NET will grow. BTW, I don't see how one language would
simplify things.
And why do people keep talking about switching to C#.Net, is there

What people are talking about that? Switching from what to C#? Java?
VB6? Don't take such discussions serious.

Industries are built on standards. Since .Net unifies the languages
with a big leash, I just wondered if there where any plans to finish
the job.

I have been doing searches through Usenet and the most common .Net
language vs thread, is VB Vs C#. VB because of it's beginner friendly
approach and then nobody mentions why C#, but a lot of people keep
brining it up.

In all probability, both VB.Net and C# are here to stay ("stay" in
computer terms, anyway), both have large user bases. J# and c++/managed
are only a little less secure, though if java ever tanks, J# will be
dropped in a second IMO.
But I'd expect a whole lot of the other language implementations to go
away, especially the small ones that MS did for the original framework
largely so that marketing could boast of .NET's multi-language
capabilities.
And why do people keep talking about switching to C#.Net, is there

That depends on who you hear talking. In most US markets, C#
programmers make more money on average than VB.Net programmers, so
there's always some talk on those grounds. And it seems that every time
that Whidbey news comes out, there's some grumbling about VB.Net
programmers being treated as second-class programmers, but I don't
anticipate many people switching because of it.

No - Multiple languages is one of .NET's major features.
And why do people keep talking about switching to C#.Net, is there

Only because C# is new... and the syntax is comfortable for those who use C
or Java.
Well... C# does have a couple of features not found in VB.NET, but they're
relatively minor (i.e. the XML Help documentor).

Some companies use VB.NET others use C#... and others use Perl.NET or
Delphi.NET.
However, assemblies built with any .NET langague are compatible with other
languages. Also, all languages should implement the full .NET API, so
language is really a moot point - just choose a language you're comfortable
with.

Here's an interesting link with all known .NET langauges : http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/lang/
Kinda interesting seeing how many .NET compatible languages there are out
there.

How does .Net unify the languages? How would the job be finished? I thought
your premise was that the languages are not unified.
So, VB or C#, Vanilla or Chocolate, Ford or Chevy. What's your point? http://tinyurl.com/694op http://tinyurl.com/65gct

This sounds like you take this as the standards from the in the history of
Eureope called middle ages when there where no inventions anymore done
because they where sure that things could not be done better.
Just my thought,
