No, there actually was a VB for DOS. I used it a few times in the early '90s. I remember being very impressed with it at the time...

Oh yea that was later on. BASIC was back in the late 70's / early 80's.

Re: Windows 1.0

I seem to remember the DOS version being a slightly prettier version of QBasic :D. The BASIC language has been around since the 60's. BBC BASIC > VB6 :D

Sad part is I have to user a powerbook G4 at work :(
Worst OS ever.

My Mac has crashed on me more times than a Windows XP machine. Granted it was only a handful, thats still more than Windows.

QBASIC was "THE IT" back in the days. :) I think the very first piece of programming I ever did was in QBASIC. (Besides the ol' DOS Batch files I used to make for copying files... :D)

Re: Windows 1.0

I got my first job by programming a roulette game in VB 1.0 for DOS. I had no idea what I was doing but it was enough to get me the job. :)
