I think your proposals are very sound.  To me, getting the NVidia thing fixed 
and getting database access and watched processes/devices/files working (all 
of which you have already done) gets you 90% or more of the way to a full 
commercial quality BASIC.  Even now, most of the missing functionality can be 
implemented by the user with pipes and helper applications much more easily 
than would be possible under Windows with VB.  What you've given us to date 
is way better and more stable than the 1.0 releases we've seen from some 
other companies and projects.

I hope I can make this easier for you before you make the switch!

This would take you from 90% to 95% in my book ;)  I'm not even sure the last 
version of proper VB came with a socket component.  All the VB programmers 
I've known have had to license them from third parties...
