I've been watching this for a while and it really looks pretty cool.  You
can remain a COBOL programmer and at the same time get complete access to
the whole world of Windows application development.

If you're thinking about Windows as a possible application migration target
for MPE COBOL, this might be a very good solution.

You get to use all the high-powered Microsoft development tools and
debuggers and you get access to all class libraries that can be called from
.NET languages, and you can freely and painlessly mix languages (COBOL
calling C#, C++, VB, etc. and vice versa) in one application.  Heck, you
could even write a 3D game in COBOL as easily as you could do it in any
other .NET language.
