The current issue of the Langa List newsletter (http://www.langa.com)
explains how to get a free copy of Visual Basic .NET Standard Edition
from Microsoft.

Please note the catches explained there, PLUS: you must download and
install Microsoft's (40MB?) ".NET Framework" to use this.
Still interested? Okay:

Bottom line: watch five videos about VB at their site, and they'll
send you a code to get the free copy.

I still recommend folks first consider the other fine Basics that have
been discussed here like XBasic, but every alternative is useful to
someone.
