Allright..
I see...
That does not mean: "breaking bakcward compatibility" at all.
In fact you could keep using VB6 for the year to come and produce VB.exe the
way you're used to.
That means they just have stop supporting/bothering about classic VB.

There will be no new development in classic VB and, i f they had added VB
support in VS2003/2005 that would have been the exact same IDE (because they
won't bother), so why not just stick to VS6?
