Presumably some very bright person will figure out a solution if Windows version next doesn't have the VB6 runtime installed. And they will charge a reasonable fee. Yup, faint hope.

He doesn't know what he's talking about...knowing the difference between version 5 and 6. Otherwise such a statement would not have been made. |
