VB6 Still supported

[Mark Hurd]

I've just been to an MS DevDays in Adelaide, Australia and there was a
comment by an MS-type person that VB6 will still be supported post.NET ...

I was not able to ask any more about this (I may tomorrow) but can anyone
comment on this?

Having typed the above in, I wonder if he meant it will be supported like
NT4 is still supported -- security patches and perhaps one or two service
packs...

Regards,

PS I saw VB.NET Beta 1(?) demo successfully handle a web service Function
(rather than a Sub) as discussed in other threads!

Mark,

MS have announced (somehwhere on this ng) that VS6 will continue to receive
SP support.

Yes, and of course there will also be PSS and such, as well.
