'''QuickBASIC''' is a [[BASIC]] compiler/interpreter for [[DOS]] and [[OS/2]].
The final product in the QuickBASIC line was '''QuickBASIC Extended 7.1''', also called '''Microsoft BASIC Professional Development System 7.1''' or '''QBX'''. (According to [[wp:QuickBASIC|Wikipedia's QuickBASIC entry]], the QBX IDE did not run under OS/2.)
Microsoft eventually replaced QuickBASIC with [[Visual Basic]]. (Visual Basic 1 for DOS can compile most (if not all) QB code unchanged.)
==Macintosh==
A version of QuickBASIC was released for the [[Macintosh]], but it doesn't run on anything newer than System 7 (and even there has some limitations) and is therefore limited to [[wp:Motorola 68000 family|m68k]] machines. (For non-Mac users, this is somewhat similar to a Windows program being able to run under [[Windows]] 3.x and Win9x, but not WinNT.)
The Mac version was canceled after version 1.00, likely due to lack of sales.
