VB is not slow for GUI processing which is its main selling point. I wrote a simulator in VB and it works fine and is speedy--of course I put the main processing/simulating itself in C++ in a DLL that is called from VB. But VB itself is perfectly fine for what it is designed to do.

And it might "only" run on a "well-known, buggy, toy excuse for an OS", but that's what 90% of the population uses so writing programs for it isn't a bad idea.
