Yeah Bill Gates obviously doesn't know what he's commenting on!

All the yammer about Java seems off topic to me.

Neither does DRONE.

BTW, I have used FreeBasic. I prefer to use QB64. At least with QB64, things improve and change. FreeBasic has become stale. If you want something along the lines of snazzy (windows only) basic. You can pay for Power Basic. I can reach more platforms using QB64. I will stick with my preferred choice.
