Answer 1

From what I can tell they work just the same in Windows 8 as they do in Windows 7 - they've said that everything in Windows 7 will work in Windows 8 (assuming hardware is the same). There are still a huge number of VB6 apps out there so it makes no sense for them to drop support for no reason. You could get some guys from the Windows 8 forums to check it out, as they will have access to builds other than the Developer Preview and may be able to get some feedback for you.
