In the last 3-5 years I have been renewing an insurance application and a commmercial integration toolkit based on vb6.
According to Microsoft's "It just works policy" the IDE is no longer supported after april 8th 2008
It still works to develop and deploy vb 6 apps.

The question is: When will it be impossible to support vb6 applications,
or will they live forever like Cobol applications do?

Update:
Microsoft statement march 2010: The Visual Basic team is committed to “It Just Works” compatibility for Visual Basic 6.0 applications on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 including R2, and Windows 7.
