the reason isn't pure qb, it's i think when you start using ems, interrupts, whatever, that xp doesn't emulate it 100%.
the reason people use fb is because it is a 32-bit compiler. there is no conversions, no emulation that has to be done. the apps run natively, fast.
edit: oh and, it's added a crap load of features. and also it's open source, no evil m$ bs waiting to happen, distrbute FB all you want, you aren't gonna get any 'cease and desist' shit like you could with qb =)
