Revisionist history perhaps. Microsoft originally supported VB for
both DOS and Windows. When I say "Windows", I mean the original pre-95
Windows, which never really was very popular at all. (VB was released
in 1991) Many businesses used Windows as a platform for MS's Office
apps (which did not yet own the market like they do today), and some
home users had it, but most people stuck with DOS.
There are lots of good candidates for "the thing that made Windows
successfull" which could be reasonably argued. VB is not really one of
them.
A good VB history page is available at
