What, no SeaMonkey???
Really? Resistance to alternatives to M$ way of doing things? I don't see that here. I mean QB64 in itself is an alternative to M$ dropping BASIC for .Net and the like. To top it off, the founder of that corporation is on a crusade to turn human beings into pin cushions while feeding them full of bugs; as if he didn't make enough money making bugs in the virtual world. I think what we do enjoy around here is the functionality of things like the ability to use Windows API libraries in QB64 as well as being able to use QB64 on non-M$ systems. Now folks have to pick and choose when there is no present way to have M$ libraries run on non M$ systems without emulators. I'm not a fan of using emulators, and I personally stick with M$ because I like a lot of the QB64 Win-API uses and SHELL calls to M$ programs and routines. Do I like where the M$ company is heading? No, absolutely not. Now if you will excuse me, I have shut my system down so I can install another wonderful Windows f'update. And no, the "f" doesn't stand for free.
