    Hello!

    A few days ago I heard my professor on University saying that MS failed with name for Visual BASIC; name reminds a lot on old basic for DOS.
    Although you can do a lot of things in VB that are far away from "basic".

    What do you guys think?

    anyway.. VB is a derivative of good old DOS basic.. so I don't feel it is a bad name...
