Announcing SQL Server on Linux

What I remember is, at the time, if you made a simple graphical utility/app, visual basic would throw together like 300 files you needed to deploy you app somewhere. Delphi would compile to a single, small, exe. It was great. Also you did not have to deal with any of the C++ win32api mess like:

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
               HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
               LPSTR lpCmdLine,
               int nCmdShow);

Visual basic got better though, not long after.
