Unfortunately, not everyone will be able to upgrade compilers right away.  I
have a client with a large set of cross-platform libraries and applications. It
takes months to coordinate all the testing for a compiler upgrade.  This is
partially because compiler upgrades are a relatively low priority.  So given
that your schedule is correct I expect VC6 will be around for another year
easily....
