Thanks for that response!

I am just glad Microsoft embraced open source and is even willing to open source some of their old tools. I fully understand... Sometimes people leave undesirable comments (swear words and curses for whoever breaks it, and so on...) so I appreciate anything you guys do. One of my secret hopes is someday I come on HN to find out that some if not all of Visual Basic 6 has been open sourced, that way I can always install it without having to sail the seven seas (an option I don't bother with anymore...) or trying to figure out where my old license key even went.

Quick question if you don't mind answering: Does Microsoft have a team that is devoted to just that full time? I'm assuming it would be your team, but is that essentially all or most of what your team works on?
