Website, DB, & Software Developers

I have one application written in VB 6 that has over 15 million users, and still selling.
I could have written it in VB4. I have not rewritten it in VS10 yet but I will have to soon.
Waiting for more Windows 8 facts. The Windows 7 release was a disaster for me.

I wrote a new version to be W7 native and it was... right up to the final RC, then they removed so many shims I had to rewrite an entire sound module.

Call me a dinosaur but I never found an issue that I could not deal with using VB6, and whatever else I needed to enhance it. It's hard to walk away from a development tool you know everything about.

I wrote huge enterprise software suites with VB6, when I left the major bank I wrote onet for, they had spent 3 years trying to write the same app in Java, C#, and C++. All 3 went over budget, and way over time to the point the projects were dropped.

It's more about the coder than the UI.

Cheers!
