The Programming Enthusiasts Forum has opened a new QBasic discussion section for Basic fans! http://www.programfan.net/club/
If you're just learning Basic or like Basic, go take a look! After all, Basic forums have basically almost died out!
Little do people know that back then, when Liang Zhaoxin was just about to end up on the street, it was through a Basic article that he found a job!

Even Windows XP was written in BASIC...

It would be more accurate to say that QB forums have almost died out. How can you say that BASIC forums have all died out? VB is also a kind of BASIC.

I support your forum.

I hope you can link a few good foreign QB forums. Right now some people overseas have started using QB45+ALLEGRO
to develop games, and ALLEGRO now supports UTF-8 too,
so QB45 can also support DIRECTX, Chinese, long file
names, and other very dazzling features. Keep it up.

Could you give a few URLs related to that?

In compliance with a court order, Microsoft handed over more than 200 million lines of WinXP source code. This was jointly requested by the litigation group from nine states and the District of Columbia so they could analyze whether the IE browser could be separated from the Windows operating system! Unexpectedly, the technical experts examining the source code were astonished to discover that Windows was actually written in Basic (a symbolic programming language for beginners to learn).

　　“This is simply unbelievable,” the technical experts exclaimed. “This shows that Microsoft's engineers are the most creative programmers in the industry.” In the experts' estimation, Windows should at least have been written in a high-level language like C or C++, so the appearance of Basic really left people dumbfounded. But this result also seems understandable. Bill Gates himself is an outstanding Basic expert. He once said that in Basic programming, he dared to challenge anyone and accept anyone's challenge.

　　The purpose of handing over the source code was to prove whether IE and Windows were inseparable, and there is still no result, because 200 million lines of source code are not something that can be analyzed in a short while. However, it is said that the court and Microsoft also reached a confidentiality agreement: to ensure that the WinXP source code would not be leaked outside.

I visited this website a year ago, but because I reinstalled the system, all my bookmarks were lost. What a pity.
Later I searched on GOOGLE for quite a while, but I lost patience too.

SORRY
