Thanks guys for not being too unkind to me. Before I start, I am nobody

VB7 would have been an easy task for Microsoft. The information I have at
hand tells me that MS actually did all the design work. At the end of the
day, it was probably too huge a shift in paradigm to make the language
easily upgradeable to the next generation of computer languages. Just to
upgrade code from the much used "ComboBox" control is nearly impossible.
As a professional programmer with experience in assembler, C, C++ and of course,
Visual Basic, I doubt that the statement "Just to upgrade code from the much
used 'ComboBox' control is nearly impossible." would be true, had Microsoft
designed differently.
The Microsoft developers decided they knew best and abandoned all semblance of
backwards compatibility. This decision they made hurt thousands, if not
millions. I suppose everyone is familiar with
