I'm responding to my own email as I think I deleted the email with the  
question.

when it comes to Windows, RB is barely a development tool. lack of  
support for windows only technologies like activex, ole servers, .net  
amongs other technologies make RB a tool that's hard to compare. I  
have not even mentioned bugs.

so if you need a single platform, windows only tool, VB/.net is the  
way to go. hence why any serious development company that's single  
platform, would possibly have never heard of RB.

Regards,

Giovanni
