    AFAIH, VB6 applications will still run on Vista, but I don't know whether Visual Studio 6 itself will run on it. Then again, it is a beta version of Vista, so you're better off sending them your feedback on the installation in case Visual Studio 6 compatibility is on their minds (which I doubt).

    I don't know about Visual Studio, but all VB6 apps will work on Vista since Microsoft AntiSpyware was programmed in VB6 (go figure)

    True. Nevertheless, some standard VB6 statements (such as SendKeys) will stop working and generate an error.

    Any idea why that will happen?
