Hi dark. Microsoft only invests development time where they stand to gain or lose money. For the most part, even dropping support for vb was based on the fact that they were forcing developers to switch to vb.net so they could sell them a new set of development tools. The basic programming syntax stayed the same, but they changed the developement libraries to not be the same as those used with vb6. They did improve the software with vb.net, but vb6 wasn't making them enough money to justify fixing the security wholes and bugs for vb6.
Assisting developers or users of code to run a 10 year old program does not gain them much sales, so they will invest the development time somewhere else. This is also part of what drives the changes to the user interfaces. They tell their customers "see it looks different, so it is new" where as most of the code is reused over windows versions. I agree with those who said that for innovation to happen we need change, but change does not always indicate something better.
