InternetNews | at | by Mike
The head of Microsoft's tools division said Friday that support for its Visual Basic 6 toolset would not be ending, addressing what had been a growing concern among some in the developer community.
"Support is, however, transitioning, consistent with the roadmap that we disclosed in 2002," said Eric Rudder, senior vice president of the server and tools business for Microsoft.
"We are moving to extended support, and that means we are entering a paid support period," Rudder said during an online chat with over a hundred developers.
