If these jackasses at microsoft really knew anything they would open source VB6 and VFP. They already killed the products and along with that, microsoft developer loyalty from most of those developers. The only way to fix that would be to open source them. These dipsh*ts like to float rumors around to see what people will say only to retract everything (a$$wipe$!!!).
I find it interesting - and a bit humorous - that moving either product to open source would be the silver bullet.
