Good thinking.

And how are you planning to compile it.
Some of the old VB6 code we have will only run when compiled on an old XP computer rather than anything newer. (it will compile on 7, but not run properly)
I have to keep a XP virtual machine just for the task.. (I'm hoping to have got rid of all VB6 programs in the next 12 months.. Yipee)

I'm not actually. The build process is on another machine. I just need to edit some code and hope to God it doesn't crash.

Did you add a DoEvents() so it looked like it was multithreading?

I hope you did so on a VM, so all you need to do is a secure erase of the VM files, rather than calling in the hazmat team.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I'm rather shocked it is willing to run under Windows 7. Or are you running it in a Windows 2000 VM?

So far it seems to be working under compatibility mode for XP SP3 and running it with admin privileges.

Lucky you.
We have a body of code we maintain with Visual Studio 2003 . It runs under Win7, but with a number of options set on the shortcut to make it run: admin and a couple graphics things turned off. It also has a bug in that if you run under the debugger, you then have to exit VS2003 before compiling again. The debugger fails to close a handle to the debugger symbols file, which causes subsequent compiles to fail.

How cool is that! I would love to tinker with some old vb6 code; brings back the old days. You should write an article about it.

You do know that, after seeing VB, Satan added another level of Hell just for us programmers! In fact, there are all sorts of rooms in the level, especially tailored for Javascript and Ruby on Rails as well. The irony is that people who go there actually think they died and went to heaven, hahahaha!

Link to bunch of rumors and speculations: here.
Although nothing is certain yet, even the release date in October, I'm really excited. 13" 4K screen, new Intel 'Skylake' CPU, aluminum body, Win 10, build in projector...I'm not going to leave my bed.

4K on a 13". That should be awesome!

"Every morning at 6.30am in a padlocked wing of a military-style compound in southern Beijing, a whistle sounds. It's the cue for around 50 camouflage shirt-clad young Chinese men and around five young women to get up.
They line up outside their dormitories as a drillmaster barks out a name register and a day of punishing military exercises and lectures begins.
At 9.30pm they are locked up again and it's strictly lights out. For most people sent here (some of whom have been drugged by their parents to get them behind the locked gates), this routine is repeated daily for six months.
But these people are not army cadets or prisoners. They are patients at the China Young Mental Development Base: China's toughest internet addiction rehab centre - and MailOnline was allowed inside its sterile walls."[^]

That's nearly midday!
