Visual Studio 6.0 – released in June 1998 – the latest version of Visual Studio running on a platform of Win9x. It is still popular among programmers using Basic. Visual Studio 6.0 was the last version to include the COM-based version of Visual Basic, subsequent versions would include the version of the language based on .NET. It was also the last version to include Visual J++, which was removed as part of a settlement with Sun Microsystems that required Microsoft to stop producing programming tools that targeted the Java Virtual Machine.
Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Visual FoxPro had separate IDEs, while Visual J++ and Visual InterDev shared a common new environment. This new IDE was designed with extensibility in mind, and would go on (after several internal revisions) to become the common environment for all languages with the release of Visual Studio .NET.Visual Studio 6.0 was also the last version to include Visual FoxPro.
