VB6 cannot.

There is a free tool (similar to VB but in Delphi/pascal) on internet that enables you to write (hum, more or less i think) apps for both OS. I don't know the link at this moment sorry.

kylix, that's the name! Thanks emoreau.

I agree with you but it is the closest i can think to work with both OS.
I think the learning curve should be similar.
