Yeah, of course I expected exactly that from your side.

And it is a very good "jump-off-platform" as well (some
day in the future), given the fact, that VB6-Apps can run
on Linux now

Huh ? You mean via wine or other emulation.
Wine is not an emulation in the sense of a VirtualMachine -
it is simply the WinApi-layer on top of a modern
operatingsystem.
Basically the same thing as the WinAPI-32-layer
on top of a 64Bit-OS from Microsoft.

(e.g. SharpDevelop cannot run on Linux
today, the VB6-IDE can).

You're making that up.
What do you mean with that?
It works here - and the .NET-based SharpDevelop does not.

IMO that's also a good example to show, that it's worth,
to give technology (in this case COM) some time to "grow"
- and regarding this example - to spread to other platforms
as well - then things start to become interesting.
