I belive VB6 is a powerful and matured tool that any other
front end tool, why is it outdated? is it because of lack
of awareness or because of difficult to use?

>>VB.Net is also platform dependent and second thing platform dependence and CLR are tatolly different things.

I agree with you on one point that CLR is not the one which make .net platform independent. Its CIL/MSIL/IL that makes it Platform independent. This IL concept is absent in the VB6. Though there is something like p-code (portable code) but that doesn't make it platform independent.

1) .Net framework like Mono on MAC OS make this VB.NET program executable on MAC OS X 10.5 Leopard platform!!!

2) With CIL/IL it is possible to create the machine level code depending upon the type of processor with the help of Jit compilers/Jitters.

And hence because of these all reasons, i dare to say that VB.NET is platform independent and VB6 is not.
