>>Huh? Where do you see that there are future SPs planned for VB 6, VC++ 6, InterDev, or VJ++?

>Maybe I'm wrong, but didn't Microsoft announce that they would be providing support for VB6 until 2005 and stop total support on 2008 (Not sure if the dates are correct). As I understood it, they would provide updates until 2005 for free and charge a fee for updates until 2008. The reason that they went to named date support instead of past two-version support was because of the greater time between delivery of the versions.

Providing support and providing an SP are two different things. Also, VB .Net is a different animal than VB6. VB6 probably won't run under VB .Net. Your VFP 6 code runs under VFP7 and it's a good bet that VFP7 code will run under VFP8. Even Fox2x code runs under VFP7. What MS is doing with VB is giving people time to migrate existing apps to the new technology.
