    Words cannot express the disappointment of not finding the source to that DLL anywhere in the massive source leak. Wasn't expecting the IDE obviously, but the runtime? Damn. Hackers need to get on that.

    (That said, even just the XP/2003/NT4/2000 sources have been a huge boon for troubleshooting things not working in VB and figuring out what some undocumented stuff did)
    IMO, since VB6 contains a lot of Microsoft's core technologies that are far more valuable than Microsoft's other products, Microsoft will probably never open source VB6 unless Microsoft drops Office entirely.
