2. I'm infront of developing a big project in vb & Com+ . how should I prepare

Well, you ccould try reading some of the posts here. Backwards compatibility
and migration are NOT things that VB.NET does well. You will be doing a
great deal of rewriting and possibly re-architecting, as well.

As unpopular as this will be, in this forum, I would be looking at all available
technologies. That leaves a variety of choices.
I would seriously look at the following:

Apple WebObjects & Java
JBuilder & Inprise Application Server
Java Servlets & JSP
IBM Visual Age for Java & WebSphere

The troubling aspect of using the MS products is your application becomes
a "legacy" app using a "legacy" architecture in roughly a year. So, as it
has been pointed out, you will have to rewrite at least some code.

To me, the other technologies are stable and not undergoing a massive paradigm
shift. This is a huge plus.
