VB6 isn't supported by MS anymore (though I forget when the actual formal date is - 2008 or so, I think) - so the 'point' that this will be a cheap solution for migrating VB code has some merit, though it's not necessarily ideal. Remember, VB6 is not compatible with VB.Net
For VB.Net, there's Mono and <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/projects/dotgnu/" TITLE="gnu.org">DotGNU</a gnu.org>.
Frankly, if you have VB6 applications and you're rewriting them, it may be cheaper in the long term to use tools such as those above, or even porting to another language.
Or do you mean to tell me that there are VB6 developers out there who don't want to keep their skills up to date?<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;-)
