[OFFER] Is Visual Studio 6.0 abandonware? MS VS6.0 Disk Kit

Post by quailstorm »

I have uploaded a full box retail ENG VS6.0 PRO Disk Kit (2001-10-01) to the public FTP already. My question, is it legal to do so? Is it abandonware yet? I hope so, it is old enough.

The kit contains:
Covers and brochure scans.
MS VS6.0 Professional Installer Disc1-2
MS VS6.0 J++
MS VS6.0 SP5
Developer's Readiness Kit
MSDE for VS6.0 (SQL7.0 server development kit)
MSDE Developer Training
MSDN Developer Library Disc1-2
aaand Windows NT4.0 SP4 too

It's reaaaaalllllyyy old, so yes, take in mind that it has been released in 1998, so of course, it's nabandonware (M$ stopped supporting it 12 years ago, in 2005)

I found it now, did not look under Compilations, only Development Kits.
Still I think my upload is worthy and should be kept together, since it is a retail box dumped with box scan and discs scan.

If it's uploaded as a complete kit it will be kept as such too.

Good to hear that. I will have more contributions later when I have time, I have some Hungarian abandonware Windows OS-es missing from the library.
Also the University sysadmin can lend me old Ubuntus and other various stuff. This VS6.0 is from the University too.
