One quick correction - there will be an updated version of ISA Server 2000
available in December, so I will keep ISA 2000 on Subscriber Downloads and
replace it once I have the updated version.

The below listed products (with the exception of ISA server) cannot be
distributed by Microsoft - and therefore MSDN Subscriber Downloads - after
12/31/2003. More information is available at www.microsoft.com/java. This
is due to the terms of the settlement from 2001 with Sun which doesn't allow
Microsoft to ship products that contain the Microsoft Virtual Machine. You
may still use these products in accordance with your MSDN subscription
license terms - I just cannot provide new copies through the MSDN
subscription.

What plans are there for supporting these problems where
they are already installed?

Is there any versions of Visual Studio 6.0 that is not affected?
Does that mean all VS6 developed program has to be redeveloped in
Java or VS.NET?
