VBA and VSTA - The Future?

See Update: http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/scassells/archive/2008/07/09/vba-and-vsta-the-future-updated.aspx
 
What does this mean? http://vba.summsoft.com/

 

 As of July 1, 2007 Microsoft will no longer offer VBA distribution licenses to new customers. Existing VBA customers will still be able to purchase additional VBA licenses from Summit Software and Microsoft for existing solutions.

 

Does this mean the next version of office (2010) will no longer support VBA macros?
 
 
    Looking a little further, I discovered VBA support was removed from MAC Office 2008 because of the PPC to x86 processor change.  However, the lead programmer for windows says VBA will be returned to next office revision http://www.schwieb.com/blog/2008/05/13/saying-hello-again-to-visual-basic/
My question boils down to this, will VBA still be supported with the next version of Office?  If the answer is anything less than a strong yes, should we be looking to start writing in something else like VSTA?
 
My guess is I am ahead of the curve asking.  I hope one of you reading can provide more info.
 
Thanks!
