Is Vb6 Still Supported?
EDIT: the VB6 IDE (not runtime) is no longer officially supported on any version of Windows, but there are ways to get it to work on Windows 7 and 8. It seems clear they mean VB6 will be supported through 2024, not just VB6 on Windows 8 (whose mainstream support ends 6 years earlier anyway).

Moreover, when did vb6 go out of support?

1998

Additionally, is Visual Basic obsolete? Many small businesses and some major companies use VB because its easier to develop in VB. But, all applications that can be developed using C# can be developed using VB and most of the time in lesser duration. So it is not outdated, but definitely under rated.

Also to know, does Windows 10 support vb6?

"VB6 runtime will ship and will be supported in Windows 10 for the lifetime of the OS. Visual Basic 6.0 runtime files continue to be 32-bit only and all components must be hosted in 32-bit application processes." Windows 10 is supported until October 2025.

Is Visual Basic 6 still used?

VB6 is probably still widely used, but companies migrate to VB.NET. Moreover VB6 is so easy to learn that you can start using it really fast with no previous experience. I also work an Fortune 25 company with a world-wide presence and many legacy VB6 apps are still widely used through the company.
