VPS

[Typhoon]

Any recommendations for a site to purchase a VPS running Windows XP boot?

Cheap and cheerful!

Want to start writing a few applications in VB6 again but it has compatibility issues with Windows 7!

Cheers.

Why buy a VM? Just host a VM locally!

Just install a virtual machine on your PC and go from there. Really easy to do.

Yeah, was going to host my own VM originally, but can't be bothered with all the hassle just to use VB6 for a couple of hours to write some new encryption classes.

VB6's compatibility on Winblows 7 is weak!

It takes like 1min to install Virtual box, 5min to download an XP iso, 5-10min to install, and away you go.

By the time you got this reply from the initial post of your thread you could be in VB6 already!

Any reason for using VB6 anyway? Why not move into .net? You can still code in vb..

Yeah mate, that's the route I went down in the end, VirtualBox.

I spend Mon-fri writing in C++, so just love writing in VB for a bit of a break, .net is just something I've never bothered with. No reason really.
