Sorry for not participating in the tests, I am sort of staying away from other languages so I can focus on thinBasic and poweBasic with a clearer mind.

But in reading about Vista, new hardware in many cases being limited with drivers for Vista, if I need to make the switch to linux, it will be great to know can use freebasic to still develop for thinBasic if powerbasic doesn't make something for linux by then.
