 | | Microsoft announces the Microsoft Z-80 SoftCard, a microprocessor on a printed circuit board that plugs into the Apple II computer and allows owners to run thousands of programs available for the 8080/Z-80 class of computers with only minor modifications. | | | Microsoft is still exclusively in the business of developing languages, and Microsoft BASIC is the language of choice for the entire burgeoning industry. | | | Prior to Microsoft, Hallman spent two and a half years as president of Computer Services at The Boeing Co., where he was responsible for a staff of 13,000 and all of Boeing's computing and communications systems. |

| | The RBLog: Microsoft MVPs revolt |
| | This will be to the benefit of language vendors other than Microsoft, which squandered a golden lock on the hearts, minds, and souls of BASIC programmers worldwide--all in the name of something new and allegedly better (read: we need an answer to Java). | | | I credit Microsoft, and Bill Gates and Paul Allen specifically, with making it possible for me to learn how to program (along with Lon Poole, who published "Your Atari Computer" under the Osborne/McGraw-Hill imprint in 1982, still one of the best BASIC books ever written). | | | I'm a Visual Basic developer, and a Microsoft BASIC developer since the early 1980's. |

| | Microsoft BASIC version information |
| | The BASIC programming language was developed at Dartmouth College in the mid-1960's by professors John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz, as a vehicle to be used to teach programming. | | | Compared to the first Microsoft BASIC, BASICA required more than 40K of memory, and had part of the language written into the ROM of the computer. | | | By the late 1970's Microsoft (Allen and Gates' company) was developing a version of BASIC for virtually every new personal computer, including Apple, Commodore, and Atari. |

| | Wang BASIC vs. Microsoft BASIC |
| | Wang BASIC was more geared towards computation, as evidenced by its matrix capabilities and that all computation was done in double precision. | | | The dialect of BASIC implemented in the Wang 2200 series of computers evolved over time, adding more powerful features and support for new I/O devices. | | | The file structure of the disk was exposed, and the programmer had the choice of operating at the sector level or using a "cataloged" disk approach. |

| | The developers, members of Microsoft's Most Valuable Professional program which recognizes influential members of the developer community, claim the move could kill development on millions of Visual Basic 6 (VB6) applications and "strand" programmers that have not been trained in newer languages. | | | Microsoft introduced VB.Net in 2000, and since then, developer use of VB6 and older versions has declined steadily. | | | More than 100 influential developers using Microsoft products have signed a petition demanding the software company reconsider plans to end support for Visual Basic in its "classic" form. |
