I appreciate the creativity and sarcasm, but then again, it's VB6.0 I'm really interested at the moment. Sucks to be in a third world country. But still, I'm thankful to the gifts that I have.

I have VB6 SP6 working fully on Win7 32 Bit (no XP Mode)
The only change you need to make is to the compatibility mode. Can't remember which one exactly as I'm not where the PC is but it was a small issue with dragging the windows about in IDE mode.
The only other issue is not to use the 'Forms2' component (Microsoft Office forms) as they don't work under Win7.
Depends on what you want to do.
If you need VB6 and you want Win7 then it does work with some minor tweaking.
As far as the final exe's are concerned, they run just fine.
I'm now multi tasking and using VB2010 as well.
If you have a copy of XP it's not all that hard to put it on another partition. You get a real environment rather than virtual. I did it with VC++ 6. Those tools take up little space compared to the new versions. You can easily carve off 125 GB or so. Plus when you muck about with your programming it's a lot less likely to produce side-effects on your main OS.
