    Does anyone know if MS Visual Studio 6.0 will work with Vista?

    Also, does anyone use the Keil "Arm" microprocessor compilers with Vista?

    (Specifically with Vista Home Premium.)

    Those are two tools I plan to install, along with VS.Net 2005, but havent tried them with Vista yet.

    Visual Studio 2005 works, I'm not sure about 6. Why do you want to run both, if you don't mind me asking? They're pretty much two completely different languages...

    Thats exactly why I would want to run both!

    6.0 for non .Net stuff, and VS2005 for .Net stuff.

    Lol. Well, I just found this article on Microsoft's site about VB6 support... take a read. I think it's more about support for VB6 applications, not the IDE, but if they're still supporting VB6 apps, it'd be stupid not to support the IDE.

    Ah, good. Thanks for the link.

    I know I need to move to .Net eventually, I just dont want to be forced to do it immediately :)

    I'd make the move once the new Visual Studio comes out (codenamed "Orcas"). It's pretty cool, worth the switch in my opinion.

    Good luck!
