Speaking of not wanting some customers, Microsoft has made it official that they don't want their legacy Visual Basic developers. Well it looks like REAL Software does.
REAL Software is offering a migration path to their REAL Basic development tool from Visual Basic. Current VB users have until March 31st, 2005 to visit www.REALSoftware.com/vb6 and get their free copy of REAL Basic. The program looks fairly similar to Visual Basic, but it runs on Linux and Mac OS X as well as Windows. They even have a white paper on porting Visual Basic 6 projects as well as a project converter.
Borland should offer something like this to move VB developers to Delphi, although it is a more logical offer from REAL Basic.
