When will it be impossible to support Visual Basic 6.0 applications? [closed]

Answer 1

I expect it will impossible to support VB6 applications post Windows 7. (I expect the VB6 runtime and IDE to work on windows 7, but not windows 8)

Update: 2/17/12 Microsoft's Visual Basic 6.0 support statement now includes Windows 8. They imply the IDE can be run on Windows 8 as well. http://msdn.microsoft.com/nb-no/vbrun/ms788708(en-us).aspx
