Carol Silwa, an editor at Computerworld contacted me to participate in a quick survey regarding Microsoft's decision to drop support for VB6. This is her article: Update: Users push Microsoft to extend VB6 support.
One of the points I made in my comments to her was that Microsoft's history of not providing backward compatibility (within reason) helped drive our decision to use Java as our primary application development language. We also chose Java because we're a multi-platform IT shop and Java plays well in our environment. We're running cross-platform Java applications in our production environment, not only as our front-end B2B apps, but also as an integral part of our back office processing.
