Is there any way to get Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 to run on windows 7?
I developed some apps under MSVC 6.0 and still need to support those apps. Is there any way to get MSVC 6.0 to run on this P.O.S. windows 7? XP machine died so I had to get a new one, unfortunately it has Win 7.

That's what Virtual Machines are for. Install XP in a VM on Windows 7, install VS6 in the VM and code away.
If your version of Win7 supports XP mode, then that is probably the easiest way. If it doesn't, then VirtualBox is probably a good choice, given that it is free. (I prefer VMWare myself, but it isn't free. Doesn't bother me, because the company pays for it. But if you need free, VirtualBox is good.).
BTW: The real P.O.S. here isn't Windows 7. It's MSVC 6.0 ;-)

Did your old XP machine come with the disc and activation code required to install XP? If so, create a virtual machine on your Windows 7 machine using software like VirtualBox (which is free). Install Windows XP and VS 6.0 on the virtual box. It will be slower than a regular machine.... so you may not want to do a great deal of testing inside the virtual machine. However, it will probably get the job done.
