When Microsoft and IBM split the blanket over OS/2, Microsoft dusted off the dinky old toy which was Windows 2.x, and did a serious rewrite as Windows 3.0. Microsoft needed development languages for Windows fast, because not everybody had enough hair on their chests to tackle Windows API development directly C. Working on two fronts, Microsoft released Visual Basic for DOS and Visual Basic for Windows. VB DOS provided not only a QuickBasic compatible platform, but a character based, interrupt driven platform similar to Windows programs, specifically VB Windows.

VB DOS was only a hook to get QuickBasic programmers acclimated to the idea of Windows programming.
