VBA and Office 14, just to clarify

 

According with Kevin Boske, Microsoft VSTA Program Manager, "there's been some discussion on this thread on Slashdot, (updated) which started from this article in The Register UK. To be clear, Microsoft is not replacing VBA with VSTA or VSTO in Office for Windows.  (though VSTA and VSTO are still important developer tools for Office 14), VBA is here to stay, as was announced some time back by Steven Sinofsky. The Excel and Access Blogs both have posts covering this from the Office perspective."

Every time I hear any news about the next version of Office, I do a search for office integration with .NET .. to get that “wow, something new feeling about Office”.. it has been a long time since Office 95 for NT and cross app VBA. Even OpenOffice has Python & Java in addition to VB.

As a professional developer working in the front-office of an Investment Bank it is woeful .NET has not been added.. VSTO does not count because DLL deployments with COM interop have to be packaged tested and deployed using a process designed for the MDAC version disaster.
