Microsoft Mac Basic provides excellent access to Macintosh capabilities which were not previously available to the average Mac owner, but what is the purpose? Is this mythical "average Mac owner" a programmer? If so, the new Basic is great, but what is the likelihood of commercial programs that would require the purchaser to have MS Basic 2.0 being distributed? There have been examples of decent software distributed in Basic source form (or in the low security "protected" mode), but what is really needed is a true compiler if MS Mac Basic is to become a true development language. This bring up some partially realistic and partially philosophic questions.
