Who cares about the ability to call MS for free. Who calls MS anyway? What just kills me is the fact that SP6 is crap. It's almost like bugs were added on purpose to help kill VB.
I know it sounds far fetched but look at the facts. There are VB3/4/5 KB articles that have their URLs set in stone. VB6 KB article URLs change contantly. Don't want anyone to find them?
VB3/4/5 sample code is still in place. VB6 code moves from page to page and finally you get a "sorry, this page has been removed" message.
So, the problem is NOT that we can't call MS for free. It's that MS is doing everything it can to kill VB6 and shove .Net (bloatware) down everyones throat.
Ending support is different than purposely killing a product. Who cares about MSs attempts to help VB6 devs "migrate" to dotnet. Most VB6 devs I know, that haven't migrated, aren't going to at all. If/When they do change languages, the stats show that upto 50+% of them will be leaving MS dev tools behind all together. More are switching to C# because they believe MS won't break that (lots of luck)
