I've had pretty good luck with both VB6 and VC6 under both 32 bit and 64 bit Win 7 Peter. There seems to be some very minor glitches, but nothing I'd call 'unstable'. Fact is, the amount of difficulties I had between Win XP and Win 7 were of the exact same nature as the difficulties I had between Win 2000 and Win XP. Actually, I'm quite impressed with what Microsoft accomplished backwards compatibility wise.

Thanks for posting that Eros. I guess its not the end of the world yet! I guess we can put off the day a little yet when we all have to program in html if we want to program at all!
