truetype fonts (and windows) can blow me

--- Quote from: Aloone_Jonez ---I posted a link to download QBasic once and Refalm didn't mind as it's abandonware - just like Windows 3.1 which is just as old. Seriously I wouldn't worry about Microsoft sueing us for pirating their antiquated software - they've got better thing to do.

Except that QBasic and Windows 3.1 are the basis for Vista/Longhorn - you could get into a lot of trouble!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, Microsoft does not in fact have better things to do than chase people who have supposedly violated their copyright and/or EULA. Watch yourself.
Aloone_Jonez:
Well I don't know but thay haven't shut down any sites that offer downloads of old copies of QBasic or even Visual Basic, I don't see why they'd waste their time.

It often amazes me what Microsoft considers to be worth their time.
One of their favorite tactics here (not sure about Europe/Asia) is to look over corporate purchasing. If your company has licensed 120 copies of Microsoft XP, but has 250 employees, Microsoft will call your business and accuse you of using illegal copies of Windows. They will stop at damn near nothing.
Aloone_Jonez:
We must be fucked then as half our empolyees don't use computers.
Look this site hasn't been shut down dispite having downloads for all versions of MS Basic up to Visual Basic 4, including the Qbasic source code which is very interesting.

Use Python or Java, the real programming languages ... not QBasic or any Basic for that matter
