All I can say to that is, do you write any code? Even being a
beginning programmer, I can tell you that succh a program is
almost if not entirely impossible to right, just due to the
massive amount of subtle differences between programming
languages.

Yeah its all about cash.
If only there was some sort of converter to convert things to
what
they need to be at, ie vb6 to vb.net, etc.
That would make it much easier and there probably is, we just
have to
look for it.
Or make it, it doesn't look like it would be that hard to do.

Hi dark.
Microsoft only invests development time where they stand to gain
or
lose money. For the most part, even dropping support for vb was
based
on the fact that they were forcing developers to switch to vb.net
so
they could sell them a new set of development tools. The basic
programming syntax stayed the same, but they changed the
developement
libraries to not be the same as those used with vb6. They did
improve
the software with vb.net, but vb6 wasn't making them enough money
to
justify fixing the security wholes and bugs for vb6.
Assisting developers or users of code to run a 10 year old
program
does not gain them much sales, so they will invest the
development
time somewhere else. This is also part of what drives the changes
to
the user interfaces. They tell their customers "see it looks
different, so it is new" where as most of the code is reused over
windows versions.
I agree with those who said that for innovation to happen we need
change, but change does not always indicate something better.

how good the newer codes are.
As I said, I don't really care about how powerful or anything

system is, I care about what I can do with it.
That's why i stil have a snes, sinse I can play all the game i
rather
like on it, despite it being no where near up to the standard of
todays games' consoles.
As I said, I just would like microsoft to acknolidge this,
perhaps
with a compatibility pack option that could be downloaded for
those
who needed it.
Beware the grue!
