As I can see many of us will not upgrade to VB5 as there is no enough modifications, would say that many of us will not go for VB5 without favorite modifications.
If you look at VB5 modifications that really looks pathetic now, after how many years ?

Things go two ways, no mods less sold licenses, more mods surely few more or much more (I dont know) licenses will be sold...
How it is not investing in VB future?
Its like when real estate companies invest in parks....

I upgraded to VB5 because I was thinking few of my active members would not mind that much when it comes to modifications like Ibproarcade, I was very wrong and now thinking to go back to VB4...

ps
Used VB5 license we can find from 80$, think about it.
And I bought my first VB license because of modifications, if in that time I would see just few modifications I would never purchase it....
