Recently Microsoft has released the GA version of Windows Server 2012 R2. One can also create a VM in Azure with this OS. Does Zulu support this OS?
Windows Server 2012 R2 is supported in recent release based on 7u45, see http://www.azulsystems.com/products/zulu/downloads

Can I run apps created by Visual Studio 6 on Azure? Im thinking of already compiled legacy ones that give console output that can be piped. What are my options?
Apps are written in Both visual Basic and visual C++ 6.
Assuming you mean Visual Basic 6.0 applications, then yes, deploy a Virtual Machine with any of these OSes and run your application on it.
The Visual Basic team is committed to "It Just Works" compatibility for Visual Basic 6.0 applications on the following supported Windows operating systems:
Windows 10
Windows 8.1
Windows 7
Windows Server 2019
Windows Server 2016
Windows Server 2012 including R2
Windows Server 2008 including R2
The Visual Basic team’s goal is that Visual Basic 6.0 applications continue to run on supported Windows versions. As detailed in this document, the core Visual Basic 6.0 runtime will be supported for the full lifetime of supported Windows versions [...]

You can probably use Azure Container Instances as well with Windows containers, but building a container image for VB6 may be tricky.
Team,
I am a beginner in Azure. I have a task to upgrade the Azure SDK from 2.1 to the latest version available. The Azure project is housed under a MVC 4.0 solution and is currently using VS 2012.
Is it mandatory to use VS 2017 professional/Enterprise edition to work further on the project.
Can i still have VS 2012 and upgrade to the lastest Azure SDK version. How to go about it ?
My AZURE project uses a worker role, Azure storage n all.. Can anyone give me the step by step upgradation steps for this?
Can i still have VS 2012 and upgrade to the lastest Azure SDK version. How to go about it ?
The short answer is no. We could get the answer from this link.
We could know that VS 2015+ is required to install the Azure SDK 3.0

I am trying to install Azure Service Fabric SDK - Preview 1 according to this MS article in which it is clearly stated that
The tools for Service Fabric Preview 1 depend on Visual Studio 2015 RC, which you can find here.
I have VS 2015 RC PRO already installed. I have VS 2012 U4 too. Azure SDK 2.56 too.
The surprise comes when I try to download and install it. Here is a screenshot of the error message - Windows Server 2012 is required.
Here is log 1.
Here is log 2.
I just can figure out what is wrong and how am I supposed to develop for service fabric? Am I required to have WS 2012 with VS 2015 on it?
Windows 7 is not supported for the preview. Supported OS versions are:
Windows 8/8.1
Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows 10 Technical Preview
As Darran suggests, you can use the Azure VM gallery to get a Server 2012 image with VS 2015 RC pre-installed and then install the preview on top of it.
Feel free to add Windows 7 support as a request on the Service Fabric UserVoice forum.
Which OS are you trying to install on? I believe Windows 8 / 8.1 are > Server 2012. I've got it running on Windows 8.1. You could always use a Server 2012 VM on Azure. There's an image in the MSDN gallery with VS15 RC pre-installed.
I have some handheld computers that are running Windows Mobile 6.5. I tried to open an old application that was created using Visual Studio 2012 but it wouldn't let me edit anything. I have looked all over and it appears I have to get an old version of Visual Studio to make changes to the app for Windows Mobile 6.5?
Yes, Visual Studio 2008 is the latest version with support for Windows Mobile 6.5.x
You have to install it and the Windows Mobile 6.5 SDK from Microsoft as well.
