I'll load up Vista on VMWare and try this out. Maybe I can recommend this to a few people I know. Thanks for posting this, otherwise I may have never found out about it.

It's interesting; definitely for beginners as stated.

I haven't tried it out yet, but it mentions using .NET IIRC. Does it have access to all of .NET? If so, it might just be a matter of time before we see a Battle.net bot coded in Small BASIC. ::)

IMO (Partially because I'm a more experienced coder and I have my own personal preference) I don't really care for it.. it's also seems to run more bulky than C# as well as VB6.

I personally won't use this.
