Microsoft to release VB6 as Open Source

This[^] was under the Developer News section of the recent CP Insider but, looking at the site, it was posted last 2009. For me, this is to old to be considered as news.

The original news was an April fools prank.

I know. My point is, this prank is 2 years old. Is it still considered to be in the Developer News section of the Insider?

It was a brief news item again last week when it was posted on Twitter as news coming out of PDC. It was picked up by an industry news publication as "confirmed" and then retracted. It remains untrue :).

I see. Thanks for clarifying. The date of the post on the URL that was provided was misleading though. :-D
