Very good presentation.  Simple and to the point.

It might have been useful to also add teh event interface to the mix - raising and consuming events VB6 <> VB.NET.

Registration of DLL on preXP box for use with VB6.  There are still many W2K worstations and servers.  The usefulness of this for ehnacing existing ASP websites through COM visibility is one of the key issues of migration for both VB6 and ASP. We also see a lot of uses for giving Administrators access to objects built with dotNET and exposed through comvisibility.

Next I will throw in that old potsticker - signed assemblies. Very necessary for installation with CLick Once when all the hatches are nailed down.
