Forgive me, but your attitude is absolutely moronic.  VB is comparable
to Pascal in every way, except for I/O, which VB handles *MUCH*
better.  It is interpreted because it makes the executables miniscule
in size.  Why compile all that window-manipulation code in each
program when they all do the same thing?  Doesn't this part of the
project sound like the part that should be written in C and called,
just like Microsoft implemented it?

Multithreading, eh?  You really think you are ready to write a
multhreaded application?  Given that you don't appear to know the
basics of project management, I sincerely doubt it.

And as for Microsoft, from my perspective, they are a company that
puts products out there that help me do my job.  What the heck have
you done to help anyone lately, pal?
