I would jump for joy if Longhorn dropped support for old Windows 
programs like VB6, especially if such programs could run under wine 
or be translated into Gambas, because many shops would jump over to 
Linux rather than move to longhorn.

But Longhorn's not due for another couple years yet, and I can't 
imagine that Microsoft would possibly be that self-destructive.

On the subject at hand, I'm definitely in favor of writing something 
to translate VB code to Gambas, and if no one who's ever written a 
language parser before will volunteer, I will end up starting in on 
it with a lot of Regexp objects. :)
