Or we could get everyone in the Qmmunity to write in and force M$ to make a Win32 Gui and compiler for Qbasic! Moooowaahahahahah!

They'll re-copyright it... and care about it, unless we make it ourselves

I was thinking, we should go to microsoft and ask them if we can strike a deal -- they wouldn't be making any money off of QB anyway because they don't sell or support it, so why not sell the distribution rights to the QB community? That way the community can raise enough money to become legal, microsoft makes a `couple thousand more dollars on an aging product, and everyone is happy.

Quite frankly: Im not sure microsoft give a $hit. I mean, come on. What is a few Ks to them? Peanuts. No, actually a few M is peanuts to them. A few thousand is the dust which lines the inside of their pockets. They probably make the same thousand million that we could make for in the same amount of time.
