Nobody expected VB6 to be supported stagnant forever.  What they wanted was continuing VB support and development - and that&amp;#39;s what we didn&amp;#39;t get.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lack of VB6 support as a first class citizen in Azure has driven me to competitors.  I&amp;#39;m sure only those in the grip of the .Net Kool-Aid will be Azure fans.  Azure is too closed a system in a Cloud Computing universe.  Even the Java world, notoriously infected with NIH Syndrome, isn&amp;#39;t this closed.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2732772554268209008/1535952542960575851/comments/default/3462029479793924819'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2732772554268209008/1535952542960575851/comments/default/3462029479793924819'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.azurestuff.com/2008/10/azure-services-platform-rude-q.html?showComment=1251398550138#c3462029479793924819' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.azurestuff.com/2008/10/azure-services-platform-rude-q.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732772554268209008.post-1535952542960575851' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2732772554268209008/posts/default/1535952542960575851' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-76494123'/></entry></feed>
