In the process they simply morph into a different , better shapes. The far the companies could foresee the changes, the more gradual , stable & graceful the morph would be. That has happened to all the VB programmers now. I used to develop for C++/VB then morphed into C# desktop developer, now into the devices using C#-XAML. And if Microsoft could foresee things better, they would have titled all their product lines towards the cloud and web in a more graceful way. Not just MS it's a phase to go through for all the companies. If we have to say things were a failure, I must start from GWBASIC , PASCAL, Applets, Flash etc Man everything has it own time!
