As Microsoft decided to discontinue VB6 a long time ago, don't you think it would be in the interest of the thousands (millions?) of developers who are still using it to urge them to make that old product of theirs open source?
If they did, they would show great consideration for their customers and it would certainly pay off in terms of reputation, professionalism and sensitiveness to our requests.
After all, they have decided to make VB.NET Express Edition free, which is a much more powerful product, so it shouldn't take much for them to please their customers by giving away a development tool they have trashed and with which they now make no money at all.
Any comments will be appreciated.
