I have a small tool made with VB6 that I use at work. It is a really simple server that communicates with our product using UDP and breaks down the bytes received to show the value of each field. Nothing special, no voodoo tricks, even my grandmother could write that code...
I was at a costumer last month and he was using our tool in a Windows 7 Core 2 Notebook. I was amazed how slow it was running. It looked like a 486.
The same tool runs smoothly on my 900MHz EEE with XP (!), and I've never heard about nobody having similar problems with it. But this was the first test with Windows 7
Other software was running nice, even stuff that he made with .net. The only thing I could figure out is that Windows 7 have some problem with software made in VB6. Does anybody knows something about it ?
That makes me think twice about using Windows 7 :-(
