    Windows Vista Rumour

    Is it true that no VB6.0 apps will work in windows Vista - as it will only allow programmes using the .NET framework?

    I hope this is only a rumour based on myth but can anyone confirm either way?

    I already tried this a few months ago on Vista, and the VB6 apps ran perfectly well. They even crashed occasionally as all VB6 apps normally do.
