Paul posted an interesting tid-bit of news yesterday if you missed it, yes it's true, the JavaScript compiler they wrote for Silverlight 1.1 is written in Visual Basic! Score for the home team! :-)

If they want the Silverlight Javascript Compiler to go faster, they should automatically convert it to C#. There is a good VB.Net to C# Converter here: www.vbconversions.netAnonymous
