Scroll down to 'external links' and you can download it directly from microsoft.ftp.

So yes, and it's old news, you seem to missed that one.


And VBasic:

Hehe ... Trying to prove me incorrect, eh? Haha! Fooled you!

The link you provided for QBasic is for QBasic, not QuickBasic. QBasic was provided free with later versions of DOS and Windows. It had essentially the same IDE as QuickBasic, but lacks functionality like source compiling and debugging that is present in the pay QuickBasic 4.5.

The link for VBasic is for newer versions, not the old VBDOS. Still no indication that it's free.
