It maybe isn't so important that qbasic survives but
I think it's the most used BASIC lanuage verision so
if Qbasic "dies" then most likely the other basic communities
does too...

I would say that! there are more basic laughes then you think and they still teach it in the unversitys/colleges so as long as they ceep doing so the chanses of basic dieing are microsopic

...And Shogun, a flameproof jacket won't help you against my
assault rifle >:-D

eeeeeeps!!
*runs away*
*comes back 30 min later with a comoflaged flamprufe jacket and face*
now try to hit me!

[red_Marvin]

if qbasic dies it's probably because people stops using
DOS (=buying XP 2000 whatever wich don't use dos)
But then also VB is another "verision" of the language BASIC
and so is QB so even if qbasic dies the BASIC language
itself probably wont die unless...

And shogun: I hope you know that I have some heatseeking missiles
In my garage...

Not vb thats for sure.

Windows 9X, 2000, Me and XP are written in C++ with inline assembly or complete assembly modules for core graphic/sound/keyboard/i-o functions and drivers.
