"VB6 just got an important boost from Microsoft blogger Scott Hanselman. In his post, Hanselman shows how to configure a VB6 app to be hosted in the Windows 10 Store."
"That’s huge, as hosting an app in the store means that Microsoft is at least somewhat vouching for its compatibility and content."
"With these latest improvements to compatibility, I foresee at least another ten years of life for VB6."

Great to see VB6 programming continuing. And why not add VB6 to Windows? It would add value.

Crowd fund the $1 million+ cost to open source VB6 and Microsoft might consider it.
Open sourcing a large development environment + compiler + libraries + all of the 100s of difficult c based com APIs used by VB6 is a non-trivial operation.
Anyone care to volunteer for free at MS for 6 months to evaluate open sourcing VB6?

No. Ship a Windows 10 VM with VB6 development tools installed. Commit to maintaining that as a MS supported VB6 development environment until VB6 is retired.
