Details on Visual Basic 6.0 support for Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 can be found on the MSDN website. For more information please visit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbrun/ms788708.aspx. Microsoft Visual C++1. Why did Microsoft decide to extend the Visual C++ 6.0 mainstream support phase by one year instead of keeping the extended support phase for two years? Microsoft decided to extend the mainstream support dates by one year to make continued use of Visual C++ 6.0 easier while customers migrate to the current version of Visual C++ .NET. With this change, customers have an additional year of full support at no extra charge while they are migrating to the current version of Visual C++ .NET.?? Microsoft Visual Studio1. What is the Lifecycle Support policy for the Microsoft Visio for Enterprise Architects product that is included with Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect? Support will follow the new support policy because the Visio for Enterprise Architects product is part of a currently released product. 2. How does the Lifecycle Support policy for service packs apply to Visual Studio? There has been no service pack for Visual Studio yet. If Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002 is released, Microsoft will support that service pack under the service pack support policy, and will also support the original release version of Visual Studio .NET 2002, for up to one year after the release of the service pack. If Microsoft releases two service packs for Visual Studio .NET 2002, Microsoft will support SP1 and Service Pack 2 (SP2) for up to one year after the release of SP2 under this policy. For more information about the service pack support policy, visit the Microsoft Support Lifecycle Web site. 3. Does the Lifecycle Support policy for service packs apply to Visual Studio 6.0? No. Microsoft will not support two service packs at the same time for older products such as Visual Studio 6.0. Only Visual Studio .NET 2002 and the .NET Framework are eligible for the new service pack support policy. Microsoft Visual SourceSafe1. I understand that Visual SourceSafe 6.0 has its own Support Lifecycle policy, yet it is also shipped as a part of Visual Studio .NET. Does the Support Lifecycle of Visual SourceSafe 6.0 vary depending on how the product was acquired? How a product was acquired does determine the Support Lifecycle the product will have. For example, if Visual SourceSafe 6.0 was purchased alone, it will follow its own Support Lifecycle policy. If the product was acquired as part of Visual Studio .NET, it will be supported for the life of Visual Studio .NET. |
