Confirmed: Microsoft Says It Will Open Source VB 6

[sl4shd0t]

msmoriarty writes "Microsoft told a group of MVPs today at Tech-Ed that it plans to take Visual Basic 6 open source and will release the source code on CodePlex. A source at the event said that Microsoft is planning to release only the VB6 language on codeplex – not Visual Studio or related tools." Update: 05/20 02:24 GMT by T : Alas, too good to be true. msmoriarty writes with an apologetic retraction: "We got it wrong — Microsoft denied and went back to our source and they pulled confirmation. Our apologies."http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F11%2F05%2F19%2F2338209%2FConfirmed-Microsoft-Says-It-Will-Open-Source-VB-6%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Confirmed%3A+Microsoft+Says+It+Will+Op en+Source+VB+6%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2Fj0Q1nJ)
