Am I correct? When you load a Visual Studio 6 project under Visual Studio , you get a warning that states "the project must be modified to work under Visual Studio AND the project will no longer work on previous Visual Studio versions".

Again this has major impact on the way we build our releases. Is this an oversight? Just so we don't get confused over the names. The Windows SDK doesn't dictate or restrict our users from developing content that targets Windows You can write applications that target any platforms. We do restrict the platforms that the SDK may be installed on, meaning that you can't use a Windows machine to develop applications using the Windows SDK. Sorry for late response. Unfortunately we are plowing through quite a few issues that we have uncovered trying to support our product on XP, Win, Win2K3 Server, and Vista.

It is very unfortunate that only 'simple answers' can be given. It makes for trying to 'read between the lines' which can be dangerous when you are trying to put yourself in a position to make a product work! I am still unclear about a few things. Is this an omission? I'm using VC SP1. Sorry about not replying sooner to this thread.
