http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_BasicQuote:
Visual Basic (VB) is the third-generation event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft for its COM programming model. VB is also considered a relatively easy to learn and use programming language, because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage.[1]
Visual Basic was derived from BASIC and enables the rapid application development (RAD) of graphical user interface (GUI) applications, access to databases using Data Access Objects DAO, Remote Data Objects RDO, or ActiveX Data Objects ADO, and creation of ActiveX controls and objects. Scripting languages such as VBA and VBScript are syntactically similar to Visual Basic, but perform differently.[2]
A programmer can put together an application using the components provided with Visual Basic itself. Programs written in Visual Basic can also use the Windows API, but doing so requires external function declarations.
The final release was version 6 in 1998. Microsoft's extended support ended in March 2008 and the designated successor was Visual Basic .NET (now known simply as Visual Basic).

Can you make things like pop-up messages and forms on it?
I'd rather C# but as long as it's Vb.NET and not the old version then :)
Visual basic is for creating the hello world app and only the hello world app. It has no other use

When you print "Hello world!" multiple times on the form. :P
Ohhh, right.
Can you like, create login systems on there, that you can use on websites?
Yes. But don't, don't ever use Visual Basic for anything, use C#.Quote:
