Will C++ and VB6 continue to work in newest versions of Windows
Will C++ and VB6 continue to work in newest versions of Windows?
We have some old program written in C++ and VB6 and want to prioritise upgrading them to .NET.
If a new version of Windows will make them obsolete overnight then upgrading them is a high priority. Otherwise not.
A similar question arises if processors move from 64 bit to 128 bit.

Thanks for confirming VB6. Does the same apply to C++?
