For years, I've been writing code mostly in VB and some in C++. Some of these apps were months or even years in the making. Now, all of a sudden, Microsoft has not only decided to vastly change VB itself (VB.NET), but also to release a new 64-bit Operating System (Windows XP) to boot! OK.......Here are my questions:

1) Will my "old" 32-bit apps run ok on Win XP?

2) If not, will enough people continue to use current windows versions so as to keep me and others from starving?

3) Should I continue to write in VB6pro/SP5 or just say screw it and wait for VB.NET? I'm actually very comfortable with my current VB, it works great for most of the kind of stuff I write and use, and I have VC++ to satisfy the need-for-speed. If I have to re-write everything I've done over the past few years just to satisfy some new whim of Microsoft for an op system that "Bubba" can more easily interact with, I'm gonna be really Pi**ed!

Anyway, what does everyone think? Shall we keep on keepin' on with VB6 and VC++ v6 or are we just wasting our time?
