Comment

We try very hard to maintain compatability with long-expired platforms and language versions (XP, VB6, etc) because we know many users have to support legacy platforms.

Like MS, eventually we need to invest our resources towards supporting more recent technologies. We maintained support for .NET 2.0 (released 2006) until 2021 even though MS withdrew support for it in 2016. Now we require .NET 4.0 (released 2010) as a minimum, to allow the use of optional parameters.

Likewise, we can no longer support VB6 (introduced 1998, MS support finished 2008) on Windows XP (introduced 2001, support finished 2014). VB6 still works on all later Windows platforms.
