There is no point using VB for applications targeting linux desktops but this is great news for anyone assessing the cost of migration. Being able to compile existing VB code for Linux means that there is no longer a complete internal application rewrite requirement for corporate candidates.
After the VB code has been compiled for Linux (or dumped) they can move on to Python, Perl, Java or another multiplatform language (I'd go Java) to so that new development can cope with mixed OS environment that would be prevalent during a migration.
In short that's great news. Now we are just missing an Excel VBA plugin for OO.org and we will be almost there.
