| Start with Visual Studio 6 (it includes VB 6). The newest version is the .net
VB but is not generally viewed as stable. When we create programs for in-house
or clients we do not use .net but rather 6. We only use .net when we are
testing something internally only.

I dispute this claim. I don't normally defend Microsoft, but I am using
..Net 2003 and it is no more or less buggy than VB 6 ever was.
Go to .Net. You can get demo and academic versions of it, and I think they
even sell Visual Basic.NET by itself so you don't have to dole out a million
dollars to get everything.

| They used to make a VB "learner's edition" in version 6. However, MS
does not list such an edition in their current lineup, so you have to
get the "Standard" edition. That's fine for someone who wants to learn it.
