Microsoft released the first version of QuickBASIC on August 18, 1985 on a single 5.25" 360kB floppy disk.
QuickBASIC runs mainly on DOS, though there was a short-lived version for the classic Mac OS.

Alternatives to this include FreeBASIC and QB64,but they cannot yet run all QBasic/QuickBASIC programs.
Microsoft marketed QuickBASIC as the introductory level for their BASIC Professional Development System.
Microsoft sold several versions of BASIC for MS-DOS/ PC-DOS including BASICA,GW-BASIC(a BASICA-compatible version that did not need IBM's ROM) and QuickBASIC.
Since 2008, a set of TCP/IP routines for QuickBASIC 4.x and 7.1 has revitalized some interest in the software.
QuickBASIC could also be run on System 7, as long as 32-bit addressing was disabled; this was not possible on Motorola 68040-based Macintosh machines.
The Basic PDS7.x version of the IDE was called QuickBASIC Extended(QBX), and it only ran on DOS, unlike the rest of Basic PDS 7. x, which also ran on OS/2.
QuickBASIC version 2.0 and later contained an Integrated Development Environment(IDE), allowing users to edit directly in its on-screen text editor.

Microsoft QuickBASIC(also QB) is an Integrated Development Environment(or IDE) and compiler for the BASIC programming language that was developed by Microsoft.
It cannot be used to produce executable files directly although programs developedusing it can still be compiled by a QuickBASIC 4.5, PDS 7.1 or VBDOS 1.0 compiler, if one is available.
At the same time, the QuickBASIC packaging was silently changed so that the disks used the same compression used for BASIC PDS 7.1.
Since it lacks a compiler, it cannot be used to produce executable files, although its program sourcecode can still be compiled by a QuickBASIC 4.5, PDS 7.x or VBDOS 1.0 compiler, if available.

QuickBASIC continues to be used in some schools, usually as part of an introduction to programming, though it is fast becoming replaced by more popular compilers.
Compared to QuickBASIC, QBasic is limited to an interpreter only, lacks a few functions, can only handle programs of a limited size, and lacks support for separate program modules.
