| Remember the late 90s when "Black Belt" ninja hardcore power VB COM API 
tricks were all the rage?
| Which ones screwed you over bad when it came time to get your code working 
with Windows 7 and 8?
|

     The only problems I know of with Windows Vista/7/8 are
with inline assembly code that conflicts with DEP. Executable
code from data memory doesn't work. But there are workarounds
even for that. VB6 is still the most widely suppoerted tool
on Windows.
