   Is Visual Basic 6 still widely in use or is it dead in the water?   
      
   I have downloaded Visual Basic 2008 Express. Applications built with this   
   require the latest .net framework to be installed. I would much prefer to   
   build lightweight & fast applications that do not require users to download   
   the latest .net framework. The .net applications also seem to run a lot   
   slower due to the framework overhead. I assume VB6 does not have this .net   
   requirement?   
      
   Thanks in advance
