MS says you must recode all you currently working apps to .Net. Stop being lazy and get to it!
...wait...will MS be paying our clients to pay us to do the recoding?

But MS supports the open model now?
Nope. Not for VB6. Apparently their model is a "semi"-open source commitment. Not for anything that would overtake .Net. Huh?

Then why are they killing something that incredibly successful? Why indeed!
Moan Moan Moan, boring ...... You just can't move on can you?

Its like those people who complain that a piece of Ikea Furniture has been discontinued and that specific piece of furniture was THE ONE THEY WANTED. Nothing else will do and the Evil Ikea people wont bring it back no matter how much they complain!!!

The things is VB6 is not dead, you can still use it. It works with Windows 8, it will work with Windows 9 it will probably even work with the one after that.

Oh and one final thing BORING !!!
