Actually I reckon you have done rather well by getting this out of
them :-

As you know, the VB6 and VB.NET debate is a hot topic now, and
Microsoft does not want to support an interview that will only inflame
the debate without providing customers the information they need.

1) It is a 'hot topic'
2) What information do 'customers' need ?
Very interesting.
I have memories of MS slagging BASIC in the 1980's when W Gates Esq
jumped in and declared that it would be the language for Office
Automation.
The college-bred C-bies at MS shut up for quite a long time.
I don't blame the guy for ducking out, he has his share options (and
salary) to consider.
However, I'm rather impressed that you managed to needle them into
saying as much as they have.
