    I assume you are talking about W11 and not VB6 on W11.

    I didn't like it much, the first thing I did was to change the position of taskbar icons from center to the traditional left side.
    Another annoying thing was the contextual (right click) menu on explorer, I had to change a configuration to go to the normal menu. And Perhaps another thing that I already forgot.
    The rounded corners of the windows seem good. 20 years later than others, but yeah...

    I personally loved Aero Glass. It was the best Windows has ever looked. I wish they would bring it back.

    C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter

    Re: vb6 Development on Windows 11

    I also don't like Window 11. I installed vb6 on it but find that it cannot install the sp6. Glad that others can do development on it but still don't know if I can do that too. When I run the vb6 without sp6, the IDE simply exit. Anyone can help me to fix such problem?
    And my application that run on Window 10 now only run partially on Window 11. So I simply is not on production mode. Consider to downgrade the new PC to Window 10, but I also like gaming. So I have not decided yet.

    The question is why you don't install SP6.

    To follow up, I finally successfully installed sp6 with the enterprise edition of the visual studio ( visual basic 6 )
