That's a good thing. There really isn't any reason to kill off the runtime. If they're going to still include ActiveX/COM in the environment, killing off VB6 runtime support would be nuts. Yeah, the thing is long-in-the-tooth (VERY long) but it's still a good tool for many things and there's a ton of code written in it.

I think VB6 will be like COBOL (except COBOL actually has newer supported variants!). It will never completely die.
