VB7 beta?

[Deborah]

Do you know when MSDN subscribers will be getting the VB7 beta versions?
When is the "scheduled" release of it anyway?

Just curious.....

Deborah: I'm fairly certain only Microsoft knows, and they're not talking.

I don't think a release date has been announced. All they've said to date is
"sometime in 2001."

Isn't "end 2000" Microsoftspeak for 2002? Actually, to be fair, the compiler
groups are much better at shipping on time. I hear rumors of a new Office
for Q2/3 2000 so the MS shipping factory won't be able to ship a new VS
until that is all over. I just hope that in the process we'll see a better
effort at VB/VBA/VBS language integration.

!! Great I'll just tread water while MS dangles the carrot !!

If Inheritance is finally in VB then are we supposed to ditch the unloved
implements? My entire VB middle tier hangs on this feature...but if inheritance
is coming whats the point of it?

Implements is a very important feature of object-oriented programming. Java
has it. I can't imagine why they would want to yank it out. It is a key
part of polymorphism. What is "unloved" about it?

Sure, Inheritance will be great, but there is no reason to ruin the existing
VB OO features to get it.
