Thats ok, but does a normal windows person that have just converted to Linux
now this?
He/she is looking for a similar program under Linux that where used in
windows. Normally I think that would
be at google and something like this.
vb for linux, visual basic for linux , basic linux or similar.

Yes almost basic will come up. Not all people are very good in english and a
translation (in head) would be something like this.
"Gambas nearly basic". Maybe this can scare someone from trying and see that
it's actually very similar and they can do very mutch what they did in
windoze also.

Maybe it's just me, but I looked at several "basic" language before I came
over gambas. This was something I felt good with. But this was one of the
reason I not have converted before. Some programs that I needed in daily
basis to make things "as they where"

Now over 5 years later I will never touch windows again If I can :-)

What we do not need to forget is that most of us (I think) comes from
windows and how hard was'nt it to convert.
