> Neither Office or Windows 7 is geared toward mobile computing, which for all intensive purposes is the future of computing and which Microsoft is at an enormous disadvantage.
Yes, too bad that MS isn't making something like Windows 8 or Office 15 that are geared for mobile and touch friendly launching in like six months or so.

What you're not able to do a bing search for is how long-term these high-paying Visual Basic jobs are going to last. There's no future in Visual Basic because it's not for building apps in a mobile computing paradigm.

Nobody is building mobile apps using Visual Basic.
