Visual C++ 1.5 was mine too. I still remember buying it at ComputerLand - Livonia, Michigan.

Borland C++? :)

Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

VB 3.0. It was bloody awful.

Visual Studio 2005 Before that, the only "visual" stuff I used was Borland Delphi 3.

[Joe Woodbury]

Visual Studio 1.0. We had to use a portable CD drive to install it and it took hours. (Compared to the disaster of Microsoft C 7.0, it was beyond wonderful.)

I was given a copy of VB2, but I couldn't figure it out. So Visual C# Standard (2002) is the first I actually used.

Yes, I did. I remember those days. I remember some of the MSJ articles, like making your own Button control, lists, scroll bar handling, message pumps, .... All the basic stuff we take for granted under .NET.

I first touched Delphi when it was first released. I wish I kept in touch with it. If I were to meet it again I'd look on it as an adult meeting a friend I last saw in distant childhood, recalling early days but not recognising the face. :) The only thing that puts me off Delphi now is that it's owned by Embarcadero and they've more or less priced it out of contention. There's more to be made from VS. It's a pity. Like Turbo Pascal, it was better when it was owned by Borland. Then they become Inprise (stoopid a name as there ever was). When Hejlsberg left to go to MS we sort of never looked back.

Same here.

Microsoft Visual Basic 5 I think.
