VB 6.0 gonna be retired....

Hello 2 all,
Microsoft is going to retire Visual Basic 6.0 in July may be 29 of July.
It means VB 6.0 Certification is goin to be expired.
I think Microsoft should consider upon the policy the follow about VB.
Becuase there are 49000 (as Microsoft says) worldwide acheiver of VB 6.0
Anyway, lets see and wait for July.

yes

what policy should that be?

maybe they should do the same with wossa and winarch exams too!!!

At the end of the day microsoft are a company whose aim is to make
money by selling software. There is very little to be gained by them
in promoting software which was first released almost six years ago,
an eternity in the IT timescale.

In any case, people have had five years in which to become certified
on the vs98 track. If they have chosen not to do so until the eleventh
hour, well look what happened to the Unicorns...
