yeah. its a problem.
theres no 16bit emulator, instead we need to run it using a virtual machine.
but a 32bit windows can run 16bit applications. and a 64bit windows can run 32bit
when we get 128bit (or whatever next) maybe 32bit will be out or reach.
so until than it will not be a problem to run 32bit.
and the problems will just be some old ocx/dll that are not updated and obsolete.

I have answered this many times in the past.
when VB6 stop working, it will be the day, all 32bit will stop working. and that include everything made in 32bit. all the tools we have, theres TONS of that. its nothing microsoft just want to stop supporting.

I hope by than, TB will be up and running for everybody where we can just update our projects to use 64bit.
