(PRWEB) January 18, 2005 -- NS Basic Corporation today announced the immediate availability of NS Basic/Desktop 1.0, a new development tool for creating Windows XP and Windows 2000 applications.

"We've been making easy to use development tools for Palm OS and Windows CE for many years." said George Henne, President of NS BASIC Corporation.

"I was very surprised that I could make an application in less than 15 minutes that created MS Outlook tasks, appointments, emails, notes and journal entries on the fly. NS Basic/Desktop is much easier to get started using than most other major PC programming languages and with the ability to add ActiveX controls can be made very powerful." said Keith McKibbin Sr. Program Manager, PalmOne, Inc, one of the beta testers.
