Consider:
1. Visual Basic is a Microsoft product.
2. VB has been developed for the express purpose of writing programs to run
under Windows.
3. Microsoft is not a proponent of open source software (in spite of what
that Russian guy thinks).
4. Linux has strong roots in the C language.
5. C (and its descendants) and Basic are totally different worlds (think
cats and dogs).
My guess would be that Visual Basic for Linux will occur on the day that
hell freezes over and the sun rises in the west -- provided that they both
happen on the same day. On the other hand, strange things do happen --
remember President Dewey.
