I've never called it VB7. I don't call my currently-installed version VB 
2010, either. (or VB10, because according to Help|About, it's actually 
version 10.0.40219.1 Service Pack 1.)

I can think of one exceedingly good reason to call VB, from version 7 
forward, VB.NET: it allows me to write .NET managed code, which VB6 
doesn't. :)
