Windows 7 RTM End Of Support Is Right Around The Corner
It’s hard to believe it was that long ago, but Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) was released almost two years ago. As a result, Windows 7 release to manufacturing (RTM), Windows 7 with no service pack, will no longer be supported as of April 9th, 2013, following the standard Windows support lifecycle which specifies that support ends 24 months after the release of a new service pack. Rest assured that Windows 7 will continue to be fully supported for a long time, with mainstream support continuing until January 13, 2015, and extended support continuing until January 14, 2020. Check out this post for answers to common questions about this milestone.

    Windows 8 supports the VB6 runtime and, for Visual Basic 6.0 programming, the VB6 IDE runs on Windows 8. Will Windows 9 support the Visual Basic (VB6) programming language? Will the VB6 runtime be included in Windows 9? VB6 programming is still widely used in business, if the VB6 runtime isn't included in Windows 9 users won't upgrade from XP or Windows 7.
