Default VBA and Office Question

VBA is supported in Office 2007.

The official public Bill Gates statement on how long VBA will be supported
in Office is "forever"

VSTO is not the VBA replacemen, its targeted at .NET programmers who want to
access Office objects.

To use VSTO you have to convert all your VBA code to .NET

We current use Office XP and have no immediate plans to migrate to a more
current version of Office.

We have Word and Excel documents that use a lot of VBA code.

Will VBA code be supported in Office 2007? Will VBA code be supported in
later versions of Office? Does Microsoft have a project lifecycle that
states how long VBA code will be supported?

Is VSTO the VBA replacement? Will VSTO work in Office XP? To go from VBA
to VSTO will we have to rewrite all of the VBA code (similar to the
extensive
rewriting required for VB6 to DotNet)?

Thanks
