I'm sure there will be tons of differing opinions on this one. But one thing I've thought about myself:
The new VB7 is likely to be to VB6- what VFP3 was to FoxPro2. It is (from what I've read; I'm not a VB'er) a complete departure from VB6, much as VFP was a complete departure from FP.
VFP was very slowly adopted by developers, and many never successfully made the transition. I'm wondering if the same won't be true of the VB6/7 transition. If so, then by learning VB7 early on, you'll be one of the few who would have significant experience with it, and therefore more employable by companies seeking to go that route.
Caveat: I'm not a VB developer, so I may be all wrong about this. Robert Bradley
