Microsoft Remains Firm On Ending VB6 Support

Posted by timothy on Wednesday March 16, 2005 @10:41AM from the at-least-it's-not-willy-nilly-hippie-open-source-goof-offs dept.

An anonymous reader submits "CNet reports that Microsoft is remaining firm an ending support for VB6, despite a petition and many requests from its developer community. If only VB were a F/OSS project instead of a proprietary customers could be assured of continued support as long as there was demand. Are there any good F/OSS implementations of VB out there for customers to migrate to? One can only hope that enlightened groups like the Agility Alliance would warn about the risks of using such software that can be end-of-lifed even while they're in heavy use."
