Could you explain this statement a little further? What
do you mean with "future potential"?

All applications compiled with VB6 will be working
fine for at least 10-20 years. Even more, Microsoft has
stated that support for VB6 ends, it means that the platform
is FINALLY stable. They won't break it anymore by releasing
SP over SP over SP... we can finally concentrate on how to
make our programs do what we want instead of struggling in
DLL Hell.
