re: Petitions and other Silliness

It's not about developer support. It's about customers who wrote applications using VB6 who can't sell their programs because MS has (apparently) walked away from VB6. Most developers can take care of themselves. It's their customers who are worried that the programs they have developed over the last decade are no longer salable. They're concerned that a year or two from now their applications won't work or be supported on later versions--true or not.
