Default Is ADO dead?

Thanks Jon.

I'm just concerned that MS is going to soon drop "classic ADO"?


While it's a pretty fair bet that Microsoft won't make any further
enhancements to classic ADO, it's also very unlikely they'll stop supporting
it any time soon. Doing so would break thousands of applications all over
the world and prevent many/most of the users of those applications from
upgrading to new versions of Windows, which is the last thing Microsoft
wants to happen. This is a completely uninformed guess, but I'd bet classic
ADO has a minimum of five more years left in it and possibly ten before
Microsoft releases a version of Windows that won't run it.
