yes i saw some things in VB2010.

.Net with new syntax like
My.System.FileIO.Copy() is a new thing to learn.

i dont know if it is better or not, i did not try it yet.

But simplicity is our best friend.

Also i found documentation very difficult and in order to see how thing 
are i had to buy a book from MS.

In Vb2010 i liked the menu editor of forms until now and the database 
easyness with gui.
