VB6 is DEAD!

[axisdj]

Axisdj, I really don't understand your position. Your arguments before now were always that you didn't want to have to rewrite you applications. This announcement means you don't have to. At least for another ten years. You can safely go on using VB6 until 2024.

I can understand (though I don't agree with) people's dislike of .Net. But the bit I can't get my head around is the gloom about having to move away from VB6 in response to MS announcing that you don't have to move away from VB6.

Funky, Let me break it down. My program is sold to end users who buys a new laptop or windows machine to run my software(for controlling intelligent lighting). So lets say Windows 9 breaks my app/vb6 apps. I can no longer sell my product because my customer will only be able to buy a new pc with windows 9. I hope that makes sense.

OR

Am I missing something. Are you saying that my vb6 app will work until 2024 on the latest OS, I THINK NOT!
