I have just only recently completed "moving" the apps that I manage from VC5 to VC6 (which was not as simple as It may sound) and took about 4 months. ( Six apps, consisting of seven exe´s, and 18 dll´s, three static lib´s). And I should now move to 2005? No thanks... I´ll continue with VC6 (what it provides is more than enough for what we need, and if the need arises that it has to have a "Micky Mouse" look (whitby, office 2003, etc.) then an external library (Dundas, Toolbar Extreme whatever.) can be used with the code (more or less) as is.

p.s.
Just for a laugh, I converted one applications DSW to VS 2005´s, and let it compile, after I had seen all the compiler errors and warnings (and it did not compile successfully) I thought to my self, sod that...



bum... and I thought I´d got rid of all the bugs Frown | :(
