This discussion got started with a question about a beginner's programming language in a windows environment, as I recall, so I did not give the question of Linux programming much thought when I supported the use of basic. It is true that basic is not a structured language, which is not to say that one cannot write structured programs in basic. But for sure I would not recommend dropping back to windows just to begin programming in basic!!! I would rather begin studying sanskrit before recommending that.
