Great! I'm excited to run a long sim to see how the new Randomizer will affect it, and I can only dedicate my laptop with Win XP to that. Right now I'm only testing it on my desktop to see if there might be any nasty bugs.

I hope that doesn't happen before DB3 is finished. I'm going to stay with Win 7 for my desktop as long as I possibly can, because I'm happy with how it works. The best OS so far imo.

Idk Numsgil, I am seriously considering doing my own port...

Peter:
Microsoft gives "it just works support" for the lifecycle of all current supported Microsoft operating systems. So that would mean they'll still fix bugs in the VB6 runtime in 2025(for windows 10). It seems the lead developer that started VB in the late 80's is still in charge of maintaining VB, maybe they'll pull the plug when he retires.

Botsareus:
off topic: Alright Peter, you should have everything you need PM. Let me know if you have follow up questions.

Ah I didn't know that.  Makes sense if they still have an engineer that knows the code.
