There's something to be said for computers that came with BASIC built in. But you know, if you have Windows and Office, you still have BASIC built in...

...for those who don't know anything about the Amiga, AmigaBASIC that came with early systems was a Microsoft implementation and some people's first exposure to programming.

I guess you were downvoted because you don't need Office?? Windows itself comes with an interpreter (VBScript) and a compiler (vbc.exe).

VBScript is kind of dead I thought? I mean, I thought that was distinct from VBA and related to IE and going away if it hasn't quite yet.
