Instant.exe 2.0 review:3 stars (An average product...) - This is an average product in my opinion with not much really shining in it. Personally, I would just get Visual BASIC. Visual BASIC is about as "basic" as it comes when it comes to programing. If you think learning VB is hard then try making a program using C++. I'm not talking about VisualC++, im talking about actually opening up a compiler and typing the program out from scratch!4 stars (LOW COST ALTERNATIVE) - This product will not turn you into a software developer, but at least you won't spend a couple of years attempting to master Visual Basic or C++. People can knock Instant.EXE, but it -Is-What-It-Is-! Instant.EXE fills the need to write usefull applications without wasting a lot of time and money! Compare $20-$50 for Instant.EXE to a whopping $750 for a useable Microsoft application suite! If you just want some of your own applications, this is it. If you want more than that, learn the .NET platform.3 stars (Products that shouldn't exist) - I never baught the product, but I have delt with many non-programer software kits. After getting nowhere with all of them, I decided that I was better off just learning how to program. And I found that by putting my mind to it, I taught myself Microsoft Visual Basic, Visual C#, and even though I am only 16 I even managed to teach myself Visual C++. All I am going to say about this product is, lets face it, there is no effective way to write software then in a programing language like the ones listed above. If you don't like microsoft, there are many other companies also that develop similar products. Either way do your self a favor, rather than trying a dummy tool that probably won't get the job done, just learn how to program. It really aint that hard.
