Personally I couldn't care less if VB6 comes back or not. It isn't any threat to me or what I do, so I don't exactly give two farts what happens. What I get tired of is the continual "poor pitty me" crap that usually comes out of these threads. In fact if you go back and read some of my posts, I did in fact try to engage in a meaningful dialog. I think these threads would get taken a lot more seriously and treated with greater respect if there was a plan. Right now it's a disorganized whiny immature attempt at trying to stir up emotions. The OP even admitted to such. Instead of trying to stir up trouble on a site where it's very well known by now, that you're going to just get ridiculed, why not DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? And I don't mean another petition, we know those don't work. I mean do something serious. If there really are that many people out there that are passionate about this and really want it, then fine, by all means DO something, quit whining about it. You really want a revolution? Organize, start an open source project that can use existing VB6 files and compile them. Yes, that means building your own IDE and your own compiler. Need funds? Get those 7,000 VB6 developers to pitch in $50 a piece. Small price to pay considering what can VB6 costs. That gives you starting capital of $350,000 to start with.

That's the problem that I see with these threads. there's this misguided entitlement attitude that somehow Microsoft owes somebody something. And that's bu!!$h!t and we all know it. I know there's a bunch of people here that still use VB6, great more power to them. If it works, great. For a large part of what I do, VB6 doesn't cut it. I moved on yay me. You haven't, ok, yay you!

SO you tell me where's the fear? That's not the first time I've seen you spout that theory off.
